[Bug] GitHub Gists from Medium article missing in markdown output

I tried converting this Medium article into Markdown.
But the Github Gists were missing in the markdown output.

Medium article containing the Gist:

The resultant output (with the Gist snippet missing):

The script I used:

const mediumToMarkdown = require('medium-to-markdown');
const url = "https://towardsdatascience.com/a-minimalist-end-to-end-scrapy-tutorial-part-ii-b917509b73f7";

mediumToMarkdown.convertFromUrl(url)
.then(function (markdown) {
  console.log(markdown); //=> Markdown content of medium post
});

Possible solution could be to fetch the HTML of the iframe containing the Gist and then enclose them in a code block in the markdown output.

Images not exported correctly

Hi, I am trying to build a package that can convert Medium post to offline ready content based on markdown (main addition would be downloading the images locally as well after the conversion with an additional script).

I've noticed that the Featured image is not exported correctly, because its markup differs from the rest. Example result:

<img alt="Image for post" class="t u v jm aj" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1270/1\*ddr6YXSIP72LyVJxeb1dwA.png" width="635" height="283" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/max/552/1\*ddr6YXSIP72LyVJxeb1dwA.png 276w, https://miro.medium.com/max/1104/1\*ddr6YXSIP72LyVJxeb1dwA.png 552w, https://miro.medium.com/max/1270/1\*ddr6YXSIP72LyVJxeb1dwA.png 635w" sizes="635px"/>

The plugin probably needs an additional rule for this (I'd be glad to help but I am just discovering Turndown)

Edit: actually this happens for all images except the bottom one that is wrapped with a link for me.
