Usage
---
$3
Using the API is simple. All you have to do is make a request. The API will return a response with the data you requested.
`javascript
var query = {
move: "Nf3"
};
api.execute(query, function (error, data) {
if (error) {
return console.error(error);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});
`

You can also use promises to make requests. The API returns a promise that you can use to handle the response.
`javascript
var query = {
move: "Nf3"
};
api.execute(query)
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
`

You can also use async/await to make requests. The API returns a promise that you can use to handle the response.
`javascript
async function makeRequest() {
var query = {
move: "Nf3"
};
try {
const data = await api.execute(query);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
`
