Dont forget to set Allow Arbitrary Loads under App Transport Security Settings in your info.plist to YES

import BillboardSwiftLibrary

let manager = BillboardManager()
manager.getChart(chartType: ChartType.hot100) { (entries, error) in
	if error != nil{
		print(error!.localizedDescription)
		return
	}

	print(entries!) //Array of ChartEntry
}



//FOR A PARTICULAR DATE (always remember date is in the form YYYY-MM-DD)
manager.getChart(chartType: ChartType.hot100, date: "2018-11-18") { (entries, error) in
	if error != nil{
		print(error!.localizedDescription)
		return
	}

	print(entries!) //Array of ChartEntry
}



//FOR A PARTICULAR DATE (with individual date components)
manager.getChart(chartType: ChartType.hot100, day: 18, month: 11, year: 2018) { (entries, error) in
	if error != nil{

		return
