import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://kierolabs.space/api/v2/keiro",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"query": "latest advances in RAG pipelines", "maxResults": 10}
)
results = response.json()["results"]
for r in results:
    print(f"{r['title']}: {r['url']}")
```

### Code Example (JavaScript)
```javascript
const response = await fetch("https://kierolabs.space/api/v2/keiro", {

  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ query: "latest advances in RAG pipelines", maxResults: 10 })
});
const { results } = await response.json();
```

### Code Example (cURL)
```bash
curl -X POST "https://kierolabs.space/api/v2/keiro" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
