var client = wordpress.createClient({
	url: "my-site.com",

	console.log( "Found " + posts.length + " posts!" );
});

More usage examples can be found in the examples directory.

API

Note: In order to provide a slightly nicer API, the XML-RPC field names have been mapped to CamelCase names. In some cases, the names are also altered because the original names are awkward. See the Fields section for a list of fields by type.
