custom-api widget: How to extract content from HTML in template?

[aakashbashyal21]

Hi,

I’m working with a custom-api widget and I receive HTML content from an API response.

I want to extract specific parts of the HTML (e.g., text inside a <div> or a <span>) to display in the widget.

Is there a built-in way in custom-api templates to parse HTML and extract elements? what are the recommended approaches to extract content from HTML within a widget?

Are there any supported functions, filters, or workarounds to manipulate HTML in templates?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or examples.
