curl "https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_JS_TOKEN&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oreillyauto.com%2Fdetail%2Fc%2Fexample-page"

from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI
api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_JS_TOKEN'})

r = api.get('https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/example-page')
html = r['body']

const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_JS_TOKEN' });

const r = await api.get('https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/example-page');
