I'm getting the error await is only valid in async function. I find this weird as I took the code of the docs itself.

Why would this throw the error?

const OpTrade = require('trade-opskins-api')
const OPSKINS_API_KEY = 'key';

const opTrade = new OpTrade(OPSKINS_API_KEY);
const interface = 'user'; // item | trade | user
const method = 'GetProfile';

// const response = await opTrade.userGetProfile() 
// or
const response = await opTrade[interface + method]()

console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));

Which docs? Have a look at some async/await tutorials. The setup is an `async` function, and you can `await` method calls inside that. – Jayce444 Jun 07 '18 at 22:32
You can only use the `await` keyword inside of a function declared with `async` – Explosion Pills Jun 07 '18 at 22:33
you can only use `await` in an `async` function. Top level `await`s is not yet supported – 0.sh Jun 07 '18 at 22:33
@ExplosionPills would there be any way for me to convert the current code into a working one, this is the package used; https://www.npmjs.com/package/trade-opskins-api Thus the code they provided. – CS-CASES. org Jun 07 '18 at 22:40
Simply wrap all your code in `(async () => { /* your code here */ })()` – Explosion Pills Jun 07 '18 at 22:49
@ExplosionPills not only response? – CS-CASES. org Jun 08 '18 at 00:23
