Notes

Don't overuse this package. Use it only if you really need it. It's calling the endpoint for every file to download it might take a while and it will do many requests to the api.

If you get the error 429 with message TOO MANY REQUESTS, it might mean that you've overused the package and made too many request. You have to wait a while until they reset. ( more info here )
