Read the decoded YAML.
About YAML URL Decode
When a link has a YAML snippet in one of its parameters, you see a string of %7B and %22 sequences. Paste it here and the YAML text is shown with its line breaks restored.
Copy the parameter value only, without the parameter name or the ampersand that follows it. If the result still contains percent sequences, the value was encoded twice, run it again.
Frequently asked questions
What if the decoded text is not valid YAML?
You still get the decoded text, just not formatted. Fix the problem by hand, or use the matching validator page.
Do I paste the whole URL?
Only the value of the parameter. If you paste the whole URL, use the URL Decode tool first.
Why does + turn into a space?
In query strings + stands for a space. If your YAML contains real plus signs they are encoded as %2B and come out correctly.
