I think we keep the current implementation for better modulization, and implement a simplified API additionally.

@jnwang @dovahcrow just want to confirm: are we okay with the current function API design that

first connect with the websites
and then query the specific API. Or we are open tp other possibilities like combining .connect and .query as well?

I'm ok with separated functions since this looks more OO friendly and also they can be chained if a one-liner wants it.

@jnwang might have a different opinion.
