## Overview
RapidAPI is the world's first opensource API marketplace. It allows developers to discover and connect to the world's top APIs more easily and manage multiple API connections in one place.

## Installation

  1. Add `rapid_api` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

    ```elixir
    def deps do
      [{:rapid_api, "~> 1.0.2"}]
    end
    ```

  2. Ensure `rapid_api` is started before your application:

    ```elixir
    def application do
      [applications: [:rapid_api]]
    end
    ```

  3. Add your configuration to your config/config.exs
  
      ```elixir
      config :rapid_api,
        project: "your-rapid-api-project",
        key: "your-rapid-api-key"
      ```
      
## Usage

### Synchronous calls

Connecting to RapidAPI is very simple. The following code makes a synchronous call to the getPictureOfTheDay function of the NasaAPI package, passing it the date parameter:

```elixir
RapidAPI.call("NasaAPI", "getPictureOfTheDay", %{date: "1997-07-01"})
```
    
This will return a Map of the API response.

### Asynchronous calls

To create an asynchronous call, you must first define a process that will receive the payload:

```elixir
receiver = fn ->
    receive do
        data -> IO.puts inspect data
    end
end
receiver_pid = spawn(receiver)
```

Then use the `call_async` function, passing it the relevant information as well as the receiver process's pid:

```elixir
RapidApi.call_async("NasaAPI", "getPictureOfTheDay", receiver_pid, %{date: "1997-07-01"})
```

This will return `:ok` and once the request has returned, will `send` the data to the specified process.

### Webhooks
After setting up the webhook, you can listen to real-time events via websockets:

```elixir
def receiver do
  receive do
    :joined -> IO.puts "Joined!"
    {:new_msg, msg} -> IO.puts inspect msg
    {:error, reason} -> IO.puts inspect reason
  end
  receiver
end

receiver_pid = spawn(MyModule, :receiver, [])
RapidApi.listen("Slack", "slashCommand", receiver_pid, %{"token" => "abc123", "command": "/command"})
```
