  console.log(response)
})

// Consume

api.movie({id: 205584})
.then(function(response) {
  console.log(response)
})

// Consume & Callback
var api
api = new Api({
  consume: true,
  apiKey: apiKey
})
api.movie({id: '76341'}, function(err, response) {
  console.log(response)
})

Consume or Specify Methods

Setting consume: true in your options will iterate through apib/endpoints.json and attach each endpoint as an instance method. If your use case needs to economise cpu time or ram then you're better off using the request method and specifying the endpoint yourself.

See apib/endpoints.json for a full list of endpoints and method names. You can place any url from there into a call to request.
