From code, with a Fous API key in `FOUS_API_KEY`; the answer's `data` holds the output:

```bash
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method":"pitchfork.com/list_latest_reviews","input":{"genre":"electronic","max_results":20,"best_new_music_only":false}}'
```
