let api = bbb.api(
process.env.BBB_URL,

// api module itself is responsible for constructing URLs
let meetingCreateUrl = api.administration.createMeeting('My Meeting', '1', {
duration: 2,
attendeePW: 'secret',
moderatorPW: 'supersecret',
})
// http method should be used in order to make calls
api.httpClientCall(meetingCreateUrl).then((result) => {
console.log(result)
let moderatorUrl = api.administration.joinMeeting('moderator', '1', 'supersecret')
let attendeeUrl = api.administration.joinMeeting('attendee', '1', 'secret')
