Prompt
I want to make an API call to /v1/snapchat/spotlight/comments. Here are the details:
Endpoint: GET https://api.scraperize.com/v1/snapchat/spotlight/comments
Description: Fetches the comments on a public Snapchat Spotlight video by URL — each with its text, author (display name + avatar), reaction count, threaded-reply count, and timestamp. Paginated via an opaque `cursor`.
Required Headers:
- x-api-key: Your API key
Parameters:
- url (string) [required]: Snapchat Spotlight URL, e.g. https://www.snapchat.com/spotlight/<snapID>.
- cursor (string): Pagination cursor from a previous response's `paging.cursor`.
- cache_max_age (select): Optional. Return a cached result if one this age or newer exists — served for **0 credits** with `meta.cached=true` and `meta.cachedAt`. Otherwise a fresh scrape runs (**1 credit**) and refreshes the cache. Omit to always scrape fresh.

Please help me write code in my preferred programming language to make this API call and handle the response appropriately. Include error handling and best practices.
Authorizations
Your API key. Send it in the x-api-key header (or Authorization: Bearer <key>). Create and manage keys from your dashboard.
Query Parameters
Snapchat Spotlight URL, e.g. https://www.snapchat.com/spotlight/.
Pagination cursor from a previous response's paging.cursor.
Optional. Return a cached result if one this age or newer exists — served for 0 credits with meta.cached=true and meta.cachedAt. Otherwise a fresh scrape runs (1 credit) and refreshes the cache. Omit to always scrape fresh.
Available options:
1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 30d
