    name: 'listPosts',
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/posts',
})

Step 3: Make the API call

    console.log(resp)
}).catch(err => {
    console.log('err', err)
})

Example

async function main () {
    // STEP 1: Initialize

    // STEP 2: Name your API calls
    hokage.addMethod({
        name: 'listPosts',

        path: '/posts',
    })

    hokage.addMethod({
        name: 'createPost',
        method: 'POST',
        path: '/posts',
    })

    // STEP 3: Make API calls
    hokage.listPosts().then(resp => {
        console.log(resp) // use resp.body if you need only the body
    }).catch(err => {
        console.log('err', err)
    })

    // Using async/await
    const newPost = await hokage.createPost({
        title: 'foo',
