# StArE.js (Node.js Server version)


[](https://travis-ci.com/StArE-js/stare.js-server)
[](https://coveralls.io/github/StArE-js/stare.js-server?branch=master)

## Description
StArE.js is an open source project intended to facilitate developers the creation of alternative visualizations of search engine results page (SERP). StArE.js provides a modular and extensible processing pipeline capable of (1) transforming SERP, (2) extracting features from individual search results, and (3) visualizing SERP in multiple ways.
## Installation
```bash
npm i @stare.js/stare.js-server
```
## How to use
```js
const stare = require('@stare.js/stare.js-server')({...options});
stare('google', 'What is love?', 10, ['ranking', 'language'])
.then(result => {
console.log(result);
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
```
