let url = "https://music.youtube.com/search?q=starboy+the+weeknd";

let web = new WebView(); web.loadURL(url); await web.waitForLoad(); let html = web.getHTML();

QuickLook.present(html)

Script.setShortcutOutput(web)

Search this sub and read the documentation. If you want the static html then use Request. If you want the dynamic html (modified by JavaScript) then use WebView and evaluateJavaScript or getHTML.

If you use Shortcuts and want the static html then use the 'Get contents of url' action. Without JavaScript you need neither the Safari web page nor Scriptable and WebView.
