## Usage

In the example below I first set up the Politie API basics.
Then I send a geo position to the news endpoint.
Finally some data is extracted and displayed on the console.

```js
const PolitieAPI = require ('politie-api');
const politie = new PolitieAPI();

politie.nieuws ({
lat: 51.9823204,
lon: 5.9102271,
radius: 25,
}))
.then (news => console.table (news, [
'publicatiedatum',
'titel',
'gebied',
]))
.catch (console.log)
;
```

## Installation

`npm install politie-api`

## Methods

All functions take one _object_ argument for the parameters.
They always return a Promise.

### nieuws

and optionally sorted by geo position.

```js
// Get all the news
politie.nieuws()
.then (news => console.table (news, [
'publicatiedatum',
'titel',
'gebied',
]))
.catch (console.log)
;

// Or close to a location
politie.nieuws ({
lat: 52.373089,
lon: 4.8910403,
radius: 5,
})
.then (news => console.table (news, [
'publicatiedatum',
'titel',
'gebied',
]))
.catch (console.log)
;
```

### politiebureaus

Get a list of all police stations
or sorted by geo position.

```js

politie.politiebureaus()
.then (data => data.map (itm => {
return {

adres: itm.bezoekadres.postadres,
plaats: itm.bezoekadres.plaats,
};
}))
.then (console.table)
.catch (console.log)
;

// Or close to a location
politie.politiebureaus ({

})
.then (data => data.map (itm => {
return {

.then (console.table)
.catch (console.log)
;
```
