Bing API Wrapper for Node.js

A very simple wrapper for the Bing API (http://www.bing.com/toolbox/bingdeveloper/). Just simplifies an edge case error check and presents a simple way to set & reuse options.

Usage:

// set BING_APP_ID Environment Variable with a valid key!

var bing = require('../lib/bing-api');
var client = new bing.SearchClient({appId: process.env.BING_APP_ID});
client.search("variolabs", function(error, response, data) {

  if (!error && response.statusCode == 200)
  {
    console.log(data.SearchResponse.Web.Results[0].Url);
  } else {
    console.log("ERROR! " + error + "/" + response.statusCode);
  }

});
