Adding a New Service Provider

1. Write Failing Tests
2. If new service type, create a new test file of the form test/service_type.js.
3. Copy test/test_template.js into the newly created file or the file corresponding to the service type of the new provider.
4. Follow instructions in the template file to create tests for the new service
5. Create the New Service Provider
6. Install the service provider's npm package as a dependency, or hit their rest API through npm request package
7. Create a new file of the form lib/models/services/service_type /provider_name.js
8. Decide how you want to test if the provided keys are valid. Refer to the service's api documentation to call a function or hit an end point that will authenticate or result in an error.
9. Return a callback making sure that error is null and result is populated if the keys are verified and error is populated and result is null if they are not.
10. Edit lib/index.js
11. Require the newly created service provider

    var ServiceName = require('./providers/service_type/service_name');

12. Add the newly created service provider to apiKeyValidator

    		if (service == "service_name") Service_name.validate(keys);
