var result = api.getSensors();
```

Retrieving a list of available measurements.

```js
var api = require('lobo-irl');
var result = api.getMeasurements();
```

Retrieving information about a specific sensor.

```js
var api = require('lobo-irl');
var result = api.getSensor('IRL-JB');
```

Retrieving information about a specific measurement.

```js
var api = require('lobo-irl');
var result = api.getMeasurement('temperature');
```

Query live data from a specific sensor.

```js
var api = require('lobo-irl');
api.getSensorData('IRL-JB', function (err, result) {
