Usage

⚠️ WARNING: Abusing this library will likely result in an IP ban from HLTV simply because of Cloudflare bot protection.

Please use with caution and try to limit the rate and amount of your requests if you value your access to HLTV. Each method has the number of requests it makes to HLTV documented in this README. This is important if you want to implement some kind of throttling yourself.
