Breaking changes ahead!

Version 0.11.0, due to be released sometime after July 1st. Errors will no longer return null values. Instead, errors will be thrown.

Unofficial airbnb.com REST API wrapper for node.js

---

Hi there! ?? This is a javascript library for interacting with airbnb's API.
Disclaimer: this library is not associated with airbnb and should only be used for educational reasons. It is an interface for a private API used by airbnb's mobile applications.
This is a pre 1.0 library. Please request endpoints and functionality as repo issues. Collaborators wanted!

Essential Info

• All functions return promises.
• The returned data format is pre-parsed JSON, i.e. a javascript object. Multiple records will be returned as an array.
• The auth system is a simple crypto token. For the uninitiated, this is like a username and password in one. If you're only using a single account, you can supply a token with .setDefaultToken(), otherwise, you will have to supply a token with every function call.
• Yeah, I know, airlock is a massive pain in the posterior.
• Error reporting and data validation is spotty at this stage!
• This library only has one dependency - request-promise.
