✅ Updated Section for README

This package does not require an API key, but you can customize request headers and use a proxy if needed:

import { getMediumUserProfile } from "medium-blogs-fetcher";

const options = {
  headers: { 
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0", 
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" // Optional
  },
  proxy: { 
    host: "123.45.67.89", 
    port: 8080 
  } // Optional
};

const profile = await getMediumUserProfile("codingoni", options);
console.log(profile);

🔹 What’s New?

✅ Custom Headers → Pass authentication tokens or modify User-Agent
✅ Proxy Support → Fetch Medium data even behind a firewall
✅ Improved Flexibility → Works without API keys

Would you like me to update the usage examples for blogs and avatars as well? 🚀
