Every time I make a ScrapeNinja request I get a “backslashed” response, a response having \ behind every quotation mark and behind any other backslash. This makes it tricky for parsing as, say, Scrapy selectors won’t find the right attributes and adding backslashes won’t fix anything: Python will read backslash as an escape character, not as a regular character. Adding two backslashes doesn’t work and using regex (which also uses \ as an escape character) is a mess since you can easily have 5 backslashes for just a newline. A brief example I just got from an e-commerce web:

<a class=“LEVEL_3” id=“Nav_W1101_0” href="/compra-online/bebidas/agua-soda-y-gaseosas/c/W1101" title=“Agua, Soda y Gaseosas”>Agua, Soda y Gaseosas</a>\n<ul class=“LEVEL_3”>\n</ul>\n</div>\n

Is there any way I can get the right source code? str.replace("", “”) usually destroys useful information
