   	Stream = require('stream');
   	Filepicker = require('../index');
   	filepicker = new Filepicker('YOUR_FILEPICKER_API_KEY');
   	writeStream = new Stream();
   	writeStream.writable = true;
   	writeStream.readable = true;
   
   	/*
   	Note pipe will send all data emited from filepicker.on 'data'
   	and send that buffered data to writeStream.write
   	*/

	writeStream.write = function(buffer) {
	  var formattedData;
	  formattedData = buffer.toString('utf8');
	  return console.log(formattedData);
	  /*
	  	From here we can take our formatted data
	  	and either emit it again
	  	writeStream.emit('data',formattedData)
	  
	  	Or we can do what ever we want with the data.
	  	OR we could even extend this example and add a
	  	callback to the params and send the data to a callback
	  	after its been formatted.

	writeStream.end = function(buffer) {
	  writeStream.readable = false;
	  return writeStream.writable = false;
	};

	file_url = "YOUR_FILE_URL";
	opts = {};
