Example

use holiday_event_api::{HolidayEventApi, model::{GetEventsRequest, RateLimited, GetEventInfoRequest, SearchRequest}};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // Get a FREE API key from https://apilayer.com/marketplace/checkiday-api#pricing

        return;
    }

    let client = client.unwrap();
    // Get Events for a given Date
    let events = client.get_events(GetEventsRequest {
        // These parameters are all optional. These are their defaults:
        date: Some("today".into()),
        adult: Some(false),
        timezone: Some("America/Chicago".into()),

    if events.is_err() {

    // Get Event Information
    let event_info = client.get_event_info(GetEventInfoRequest {
