    try {
        const params = new URLSearchParams({
            timestamp: '1609459200',
            reference: '2024-06-01T00:00:00Z',

            method: 'GET',
            headers: {
                'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
            }
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    }
}

callRelativeTimeFormatterAPI();
