###Usage

First, you have to setup the server configuration. Run bbb-conf --salt on server to get the salt and url, then put in your node.js application

var bbb = require('bigbluebutton);

bbb.salt = '99999999999999999999999';
bbb.url = 'http://localhost/bigbluebutton';

Now you can access the BigBlueButton API easely. You can see some example bellow.
