Discord bot repeats itself and spams HTML code when requesting website data.

[sirquackiii]

So I am making a discord bot with a command to do HTTP requests via beautifulsoup. Right now it's supposed to get the first <h1> tag and prints it in bold, and it will then get the first <p> tag and print it as well. In the code, I ask for it to get the text of the tags specifically. But when I ask it to get the text from wikipedia, it repeats itself, prints out HTML code, and just goes nuts.

I tried the exact same code by just printing it to a terminal and it works perfectly fine.

Here is my code:

@commands.command()
async def web(ctx, site):
    r = requests.get(f"https://{site}")
    soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, "lxml")
    h = soup.h1.text
    p = soup.p.text
    
    await ctx.send(h)
    await ctx.send(p)

    return

I am not sure what's going on here

This is for the discord.py library, not BeautifulSoup. The only advice I can offer here is that requests is blocking and shouldn't be used. Use aiohttp instead.

Other than that, this seems to do with external libraries rather than discord.py -- so it's off-topic here.
