public class ExtractTextFromHTML {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Configure your API credentials for authentication
        String MyAppKey = "your-app-key"; 
        String MyAppSid = "your-app-sid";
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration(MyAppKey, MyAppSid);

        // Initialize the ParseApi class for text extraction
        ParseApi parseApi = new ParseApi(configuration);

        try {
            // Define the source file path
            FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo();
            fileInfo.setFilePath("SampleFiles/source.html");

            // Apply text extraction options
            TextOptions textOptions = new TextOptions();
            textOptions.setFileInfo(fileInfo);

            // Create and execute text extraction request
            TextRequest request = new TextRequest(textOptions);
            TextResult response = parseApi.text(request);

            // Print the extracted HTML webpage text to the console
            System.out.println("HTML Text Extracted Successfully:");
            System.out.println(response.getText());

        } catch (Exception e) {

            System.err.println("An error occurred: " + e.getMessage());
        }
