# Fetch URL

Fetch raw HTTP responses from URLs. Supports multiple URLs and custom headers.

## Usage

```bash
# Single URL
node {baseDir}/scripts/fetch.mjs "https://api.example.com/data"

# Multiple URLs
node {baseDir}/scripts/fetch.mjs '["https://api.example.com/data1", "https://api.example.com/data2"]'

# With custom headers (per-URL)
node {baseDir}/scripts/fetch.mjs '["https://api.example.com/json", "https://api.example.com/text"]' '[{"accept":"application/json"}, {"accept":"text/plain"}]'

# With timeout
node {baseDir}/scripts/fetch.mjs "https://api.example.com/data" --timeout 60000
```

## Examples

### JSON API

# GitHub API - get repository info
node {baseDir}/scripts/fetch.mjs "https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/vscode" '{"accept":"application/json","user-agent":"Mozilla/5.0"}'
```
