If you receive an error related to WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1, it means that the WinHttp library is not registered on your computer. To resolve this issue, you can try re-registering the library by running the following command in an elevated command prompt:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\winhttp.dll
If the error persists, you may need to reinstall the library. You can download it from the Microsoft website.
The UnescapeString function is used to format the response from the API into a human-readable format. If you encounter any errors or unexpected output, please refer to the comments in the code for further assistance.
