# collmex-client
A Node client to communicate with Collmex API. This was inspired by our [`co-collmex` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/co-collmex) but rewritten with modern Javascript (removing deprecated dependencies in the process).
**Note:** this package uses a GitHub Action `sync-data` (see [here](https://github.com/kaskadi/collmex-client/actions?query=workflow%3Async-data) and [there](./.github/workflows/sync-data.yml)) to scrap Collmex API documentation daily to check that the CSV mapping (stored [here](./data/satzarten.json)) used is still up to date. This mapping could have been stored into a public CDN and fetched on client instanciation (& then on daily basis for persistent clients) but that would slow down performances and introduce a potential failure point (CDN down -> no data). **Please make sure you always use the latest version of this package to ensure the answer you get from Collmex API is the correct one.**
**New in 1.14.0:** when instanciating a new client, a check will be performed to compare your locally installed version of `collmex-client` with the latest one available on `npm`. If the version you use is not the latest one, a warning will be printed in `stdout`.
# Installation

npm i collmex-client
