A Simple Example

import asyncio
import logging
from eidolon import Parallelizer
from eidolon.api_request import APIRequest

"""
the callback should ideally be an async function, since methods
like .json or .text on the response are async
"""

async def callback(request, response):
    print(response.status)
    print(await response.text())

"""
Create an APIRequest object. Each object corresponds to a single request, and can take in an optional callback
Everything except request_method and request_url is optional
"""
req = APIRequest(
    request_method="GET",
    request_url="https://www.google.com",
    request_headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"},
    request_params={"q": "python"},
    request_json={"key": "value"},
