Request

Instantiating a page object as above automatically does the web request when created. If for some reason you want to make the object, but call the request at a different time, the following can be done:

page = Page(username='timothymonigatti', fetch=False)
...
page.fetch()
data = page.get_data()

Or just

page = Page(username='timothymonigatti', fetch=False)
...
data = page.get_data() # Auto calls fetch if not fetched before

Data Refresh

If you want to refresh the data in the object, you can

page = Page(username='timothymonigatti')
...
data = page.get_data(refresh_data=True) # Auto calls fetch if not fetched before
