Ah yes I still need to port that package (and my blog post) to the Overheid.io API.

That might take a while, so you better use my overheid.io package instead, like this:

const kvk = require ('overheid.io') ({
  apikey: 'YOUR APIKEY',
  dataset: 'kvk'
});

function output (err, data) {
  console.dir (err || data, {
    depth: null,
    colors: true
  });
}

kvk ({
  params: {
    'filters[handelsnaam]': 'ahold'
  },
  callback: output
});

Thanks for your alternative solution,

I execute the following code (based on your readme.md) in the node_module\overheid.io folder.

var openkvk = require ('overheid.io') ({
    apikey: 'mijnAPI',
    dataset: 'kvk'
});

openkvk ({
                params: {
                    'filters[handelsnaam]': '*' + 'Advocaten' + '*'
                },
                callback: function (err, data) {
                    if (err) { return console.log (err) }

                    console.info(data.handelsnaam + ' : ' + data.plaats)
                }
              })

The result i get from the console is:

undefined : undefined

While i expected:

Advocaat 1  :  Plaats 1
Advocaat 2  :  Plaats 2

What am i doing wrong?

Manny thanks

• Either don't use wildcards on filter or use the query parameter instead.
• You need to specify plaats in the fields parameter to include it in the result data.
• This module returns the raw data object, so the results are stored in the data._embedded.rechtspersoon array.

openkvk ({
  params: {
    query: '*Advocaten*',
    queryFields: ['handelsnaam'],
    fields: ['plaats']
  },
  callback: (err, data) => {
    if (err) { return console.log (err); }

    if (data.totalItemCount) {
      data._embedded.rechtspersoon.forEach (item => {
        console.log (item.handelsnaam + ' : ' + item.plaats);
      });
    }
  }
});

For some reason they include the country in plaats, I think that could be a bug in their API. I have filed a report with them.
