shapeshift.io api for node.js

What is shapeshift.io?

ShapeShift is an instant exchange for Litecoin, Bitcoin, Peercoin, Dogecoin, Darkcoin, and other crypto-currencies.

ShapeShift is the fastest way to exchange these digital currencies for one another. An exchange between crypto-currencies on ShapeShift takes only a few seconds, and no account is needed.

The benefit of this is an application or site could send a payout to a content provider paid out in a different currency than what the consumer paid with.

For example, Joe wants to be paid in Bitcoin, while Sally wants to pay him in Litecoin. ShapeShift allows you to convert the currency on behalf of the user.
