Example - Going back through the history of the logs

Setting the last parameter to true iterates through the papertrail logs backwards:

var papertrailStream = require('papertrail-stream');
var token = 'secret paper trail token';
var query = {
  system_id: 'cs-images-api',
  q: 'app/web GET /search/images?word='
};
papertrailStream(token, query, true)
  .on('data', function (data) {
    console.log('data');
  });
