let params = {
  format: json,
  limit: 10,
  query: {
    '$': 'london',
    'Source country': 'United Kingdom'
  }
};

client.query(params, function(data, response) {
  console.log(data);
}, function(err) {
  console.error(err);
});

let MetabaseFilter = require('lexisnexis-metabase/filter');
let client = new MetabaseFilter({token: "[YOUR_FILTER_API_KEY]"});

let params = {
