    }
response = requests.request("POST", url, json=payload, headers=headers)

const axios = require('axios');
const data = {
    "period":"total",
    "limit":10,
    "tzOffset":0,
    "column":"country"
};
const options = {
  headers: {
    accept: '*/*',

axios.post('https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/top', data, options)
.then(function (response) {

});

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
