headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "webhook-relay-by-helix-api.p.rapidapi.com",
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

  "https://webhook-relay-by-helix-api.p.rapidapi.com/create",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
      "X-RapidAPI-Host": "webhook-relay-by-helix-api.p.rapidapi.com"

  -H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Host: webhook-relay-by-helix-api.p.rapidapi.com"

  "data": { /* endpoint-specific payload */ },
  "meta": {

    "latency_ms": 142,
    "request_id": "req_abc123"
