I want to make an API call to /v1/threads/profile. Here are the details:
Endpoint: GET https://api.scraperize.com/v1/threads/profile
Description: Fetches a public Threads profile by username and returns it as clean JSON: user id, handle, full name, bio (with the accounts it mentions and any links in it), profile picture (standard and HD), verified and private flags, follower count, profile links (URL, title), interests (tag, label, link), the linked podcast or newsletter, whether the account shares to the fediverse, and the Instagram account behind it with its follower and following counts. Posts are not included. Only publicly available data is returned.
Required Headers:
- x-api-key: Your API key
Parameters:
- handle (string) [required]: The Threads username, e.g. `zuck` (an `@handle` or `threads.com/@...` URL also works).
- 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
