  --data-urlencode 'url=https://github.com/karpathy' \
  --data-urlencode 'scraper=github-profile' -G
from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI

api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'})
res = api.get(
    'https://github.com/karpathy',
    {'scraper': 'github-profile'}
)

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

const res = await api.get(
  'https://github.com/karpathy',
  { scraper: 'github-profile' }
);
const data = JSON.parse(res.body);
require 'crawlbase'
api = Crawlbase::API.new(token: 'YOUR_TOKEN')

res = api.get('https://github.com/karpathy', scraper: 'github-profile')
