• If the script doesn't have execute permission, you should run first: chmod a+x benchmark.py
• Run it: ./benchmark.py https://graph.irail.be/sncb/connections -n 5 -i -o results.csv.

This example will fetch the website https://graph.irail.be/sncb/connections 5 times, the script will save the data to results.csv and print them individually to the console. This small script has a nice builtin help function which describes each parameter that you can use (./benchmark.py -h).
