##Usage
Create configuration object with API version as input parameter
config = MsfLib(version="1.0")
Test connection at any time with:
config.test_connection()
Create storage method
storage = FeedStorageMethod(config)
Create a feed
feed = Feed(config, sport="nhl", season="current", season_type="regular", date=datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d"), output_type="json")
Note: For default params, the season/sport/season_type will not always correctly align to a working feed. Although, season="current" or season="latest"should always pull a working feed.
feed.set_store(storage)
This will temporarily store results in feed.store.output. Depending on storage parameters selected, the data may be stored in <your results location>.
