I used the APIChain sometimes it failed during the intermediate step
when generating the api url and calling the `request` function. After
some digging, I found the url sometimes includes the space at the
beginning, like `%20https://...api.com` which causes the `
self.requests_wrapper.get` internal function to fail.

Including a little string preprocessing `.strip` to remove the space
seems to improve the robustness of the APIchain to make sure it can send
the request and retrieve the API result more reliably.
