However, you could use MagicMirror-Module-Template then run npm install --save open-shl within your module folder to install open-shl.

You would then add the code featured here to load the API and start querying data. I recommend loading the API in your node_helper.js and passing back the data to display via this.sendSocketNotification(notification, payload).
