Usage
-----

```js
var requestbin = require ('requestbin');

requestbin.create (false, function (err, data) {
if (err) { return console.log (err); }

console.log ('Send requests to: http://requestb.in/' + data.name);
console.log ('Inspect requests: http://requestb.in/' + data.name + '?inspect');
});
```

Installation
------------

`npm install requestbin`

Callback & errors
-----------------

The callback receives only one parameter `err` in case of an error.
This will be an`instanceof Error` with stack trace and sometimes more properties to describe the error.

When everything seems fine the `err` param is `null` and a second param `data` contains the result.

```js
function callback (err, data) {
if (!err) {
console.log (data);
} else {
console.log (err); // message + info properties, ie. details
console.log (err.stack); // what caused it
}
}
```
