Using a block from "Web services..." ("Https") library

[kinestheticlearning]

Can anyone show me how to use the block (see picture below)

from the "Web services..." library

in order to get first 10 items, each one consisting of 3 items (the topic_title, the category, the first_90_characters_of_the_post), reported as list.

1. You don't need the HTTPS requests block for this. Just use the URL block
2. Probably the best way to do this without a web scraping library would be regexes

The "strings" library was originally developed in a web-scraping project.
