Installation

Install agenda-rest as a global package

npm install -g agenda-rest

        query,      // An object i.e. { foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux' } used to create query parameters (http://mydommain.com:3333/test/value1?foo=bar&baz=qux)
        body        // Accompanying data sent along the request
