Problems getting HTML of a URL

Scriptable
1

Hello everyone. I wrote the following script to get the HTML of a specified URL:

/* Given a URL, return the HTML */
var URLAlert, URLText = "";
var webView, html;
var noninteractive;

if (args.plainTexts.length > 0) {
  URLText = args.plainTexts[0];
  noninteractive = true;
}
else if (args.urls.length > 0)
{
  URLText = args.urls[0];
  noninteractive = true;
}
else if (args.shortcutParameter)
{
  URLText = args.shortcutParameter;
  noninteractive = true;
}
else {
  noninteractive = false;
  URLAlert = new Alert();
  URLAlert.title = "URL";
  URLAlert.message = "Please enter the URL:";
  URLAlert.addAction("OK");
  URLAlert.addCancelAction("Cancel");
  URLAlert.addTextField("URL");
  let alertIndex = await URLAlert.presentAlert();
  if (alertIndex >= 0) {
    URLText = URLAlert.textFieldValue(0);
  }
}

if (URLText != "") {
  webView = new WebView();
  await webView.loadURL(URLText);
  await webView.present(true);
  let html = await webView.getHTML();
  if (noninteractive) {
    Script.setShortcutOutput(html);
  }
  else {
    await webView.present();
    await QuickLook.present(html);
  }
}
Script.complete()

I don’t know why, but when I try using it with a URL such as the one below [1], the script produces the error in the photo below. I think it is a general problem because the script does not work with any URL and when it reports an error, it is always the same error. Might someone know why I am getting this error message and what I need to do to remove it? I am running iOS 16.5.1 on an iPhone 8 Plus. I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks so much.

The await for loadURL isn’t needed

/* Given a URL, return the HTML */
var URLAlert, URLText = "";
var webView, html;
var noninteractive;

if (args.plainTexts.length > 0) {
  URLText = args.plainTexts[0];
  noninteractive = true;
}
else if (args.urls.length > 0)
{
  URLText = args.urls[0];
  noninteractive = true;
}
else if (args.shortcutParameter)
{
  URLText = args.shortcutParameter;
  noninteractive = true;
}
else {
  noninteractive = false;
  URLAlert = new Alert();
  URLAlert.title = "URL";
  URLAlert.message = "Please enter the URL:";
  URLAlert.addAction("OK");
  URLAlert.addCancelAction("Cancel");
  URLAlert.addTextField("URL");
  let alertIndex = await URLAlert.presentAlert();
  if (alertIndex >= 0) {
    URLText = URLAlert.textFieldValue(0);
  }
}

if (URLText != "") {
  webView = new WebView();
  webView.loadURL(URLText);
  await webView.present(true);
  let html = webView.getHTML();
  if (noninteractive) {
    Script.setShortcutOutput(html);
  }
  else {
    await webView.present();
    await QuickLook.present(html);
  }
}
Script.complete()

I don’t see where I use an await for loadURL(). Can you tell me which line I have to change? Thanks.

It’s the twelfth line from the bottom.

You can just copy the code I sent back. That’s the only change I made.

Oh I see. I changed the line according to your suggestion and it fixed the problem. Thanks so much.
