#moviemeter A node wrapper module for the Moviemeter.nl API.

##Installing

npm install moviemeter

Note: You need to request an API key in order to use most functionality of this the API (and this module).

##Basic Usage

Most API calls need an active session key to be passed. You can retrieve one with your API key. See the example below.

var moviemeter = require('moviemeter');

var apiKey = 'MY_SUPER_SECRET_API_KEY';

moviemeter.api_startSession(apiKey, function(err, session) {
	var sessionKey = session.session_key;

	// EXAMPLE: Search a film with terms 'Wolf of Wall Street'
	moviemeter.film_search(sessionKey, 'Wolf of Wall Street', function(err, data) {
      console.log(data); // prints out search results (it's a JSON object)
	});

	// Be nice, and inform Moviemeter.nl that you want to close the session when you're done
	moviemeter.api_closeSession(sessionKey, function(err, isClosed) {
		// ...
	});
});
