Do an npm install to get dependencies. If you use a NODE_ENV then make a copy of config/default.json to config/$NODE_ENV.json and edit it, to add the right AppId and Api/Secret key and a url.

Usage

When configured, to make a GET against the default url do

node getreq.js

If you want to do a GET request against a specific url do

node getreq.js https://apiserver.wherever.com/api/path/to/resource

For a POST request do

node postreq.js

To use a file as POST body against a specific resource:

node postreq.js https://apiserver.wherever.com/api/post/resource yourfile.json
