const {HTTP} = require('http-call')
const {body: user} = await HTTP.get('https://api.github.com/users/me')

// for typescript specify the type of the body with a generic:
const {body: user} = await HTTP.get<{id: string, email: string}>('https://api.github.com/users/me')

// set headers
await HTTP.get('https://api.github.com', {headers: {authorization: 'bearer auth'}})
