title: How to get a certain number of words from a website in python
body: <p>i want to fetch data from cheat.sh using the requests lib and the discord.py lib....but since discord only allows 2000 characters at length to send at a time, i want to fetch only a certain number of words/digits/newline like 1800. how can i do so?</p>
  <p>a small bit of code example showing my idea</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>import requests
  
  url = &quot;https://cheat.sh/python/string+annotations&quot; #this gets the docs of string annotation in python
  
  response = requests.get(url)
  data = response.text # This gives approximately 2403 words...but i want to get only 1809 words
  print(data)
  </code></pre>
