This is going to crawl Kiva.org for the teams a lender belongs to. This information is not avalible through their daily snapshot The get request for the team is sent to http://api.kivaws.org/v1/lenders/{lender_name}/teams.json For more information refer to http://build.kiva.org/docs/data/lenders

This project expects the kiva daily snapshot to be in a folder in the same directory as the folder containing the kiva.js that does the crawling. We are expecting the kiva daily snapshot folder to have the default name of kiva_ds_json and the lenders folder inside to have the default name of lenders To get the kiva daily snapshot use their url http://build.kiva.org/docs/data/snapshots

To see if node is installed run ''' node -v '''

if that commend is not intalled you will need to install node can be done with Mac Ports and Home Brew ''' port install nodejs ''' ''' brew install node ''' or you can download it from their main sites http://nodejs.org/#download

after cloning the repo, go inside the repo folder and run ''' node kiva.js startNumber endNumber ''' above the start number if the first file that will be read, ie if you send 1 it will read 1.json and crawl it for end number, it stops before getting to that number, for example ''' node kiva.js 1 5 ''' will get teams for lenders in json files 1, 2 ,3 ,4 but not 5

Happy Crawling !
