HTML entities incorrectly encoding in API call

Question

I am about to use Paxful API method for sending a message to trade:

String message = "Do NOT PRESS 'Paid' button, until your transfer get 'Success' status.";
paxfulService.sendMessage(tradeId, message);

But here is what I see in the browser:

This is my fault, or Paxful API use unnecessary HTML encoding?

The API you are using is re-encoding the single quotes back into their hex values.

In your original message string try using ' in the place of the single quotes you have.
