const manage = require ('connectwise-manage-rest-api')({
	fqdn: '​api-na.myconnectwise.net',
	companyId: '################',
	publicKey: '################',
	privateKey: '################',

	// optional settings
    version: 'v4_6_release',                           // if omitted, latest version will be looked up
	timeoutRetries: 10,                                // number of times to retry request in case of timeout error
    clientId: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'   // see https://developer.connectwise.com/ClientID this will eventually be a required setting

(async () => {
    const resultGraph = await manage.get(`system/info`);
    console.log(resultGraph);
}).catch(error => {
    console.log(error);
})();

system report normalizer

const config = require('./test-config');
const log = x => console.log(require('util').inspect(x, {colors: true, depth: null}));
const normalize = require('./normalize-system-report');
const manage = require ('./index')(config);

(async () => {
    const holidayReportInColumnarFormat = await manage.get('system/reports/holiday');
    const holidayDataInSaneObjectFormat = normalize(holidayReportInColumnarFormat);
    log(holidayReportInColumnarFormat);
    log(holidayDataInSaneObjectFormat);
})().catch(log);
