###Author Norman Joyner - [e-mail]

##Getting Started

###Installation npm install quandl

###Configuration Simply require the quandl module, instantiate a new Quandl object, configure it if necessary, and start making calls. The auth token and api version are configurable.

New Quandl objects can be instantiated with configuration parameters. Here is an example:

var Quandl = require("quandl");
var quandl = new Quandl({
    auth_token: "dsahFHUiewjjd",
    api_version: 1,
    proxy: "http://myproxy:3128"
});

Quandl objects can also be configured via the .configure(options) method. Here is an exmaple:

var Quandl = require("quandl");
var quandl = new Quandl();

var options = {
    auth_token: "dsahFHUiewjjd"
}

quandl.configure(options);

The auth_token parameter defaults to undefined (anonymous access). Be aware of the Quandl Usage Rules. The api_version parameter defaults to 1, for v1 api access. The proxy parameter routes all requests through the specfied proxy.
