# Set up the parameters
params = {"api_key": api_key, "username": username}

if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the JSON content
    json_response = response.json()
    print(json_response)
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.text)

axios.get(apiUrl, { params })
  .then(response => {
    // Check if the request was successful (status code 200)
    if (response.status === 200) {
      // Parse the JSON content
      const jsonResponse = response.data;

      console.log('JSON Response:');
      console.log(JSON.stringify(jsonResponse, null, 2)); // Pretty print the JSON
