res = api.get(
    'https://www.facebook.com/events/1543404119289643',
    {'scraper': 'facebook-event'}
)

import json
data = json.loads(res['body'])
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });

const res = await api.get(
  'https://www.facebook.com/events/1543404119289643',
  { scraper: 'facebook-event' }
);
const data = JSON.parse(res.body);
require 'crawlbase'
api = Crawlbase::API.new(token: 'YOUR_TOKEN')

res = api.get('https://www.facebook.com/events/1543404119289643', scraper: 'facebook-event')
