Usage

The module has the following methods: all, arte, daserste, mdr, srf, swr and dw. Each method returns a Promise which resolves in a list of objects representing single documentaries:

const dokus = require('dokus')

dokus.all().then(…)

will resolve in a list of objects which look like this:

	{
		title: '…',
		description: '…',
		tags: […], // (not supported by all media libraries)
		link: '…', // media library url
		image: '…', // thumbnail
		network: 'arte'
	}

Please note that the script - especially daserste - may take a while to run.
