getText throws "generic error"

[taitems]

Firstly, thank you of course for making this plugin. I've pulled it down and am giving it a go for the first time today.

For some reason, I can't get the getText method to work and the error message is not particular helpful. I can load the bookmark list fine, so it's not an auth issue.

I looked at the docs and said all input must be UTF-8, so I verified my script was UTF-8. I've tried the bookmark_id as a straight Int 1024240997, and as a String '1024240997'. I've tried the hash instead 'oua8wDvO'. I've tried promise chaining. Normal callback function as a parameter. Nothing seems to work.

A cut down example is here:

const credentials = require('./credentials.js')
const Instapaper  = require('instapaper');
const client      = Instapaper(credentials.instapaperToken, credentials.instapaperSecret);
 
client.setUserCredentials(credentials.instapaperUsername, credentials.instapaperPassword);

client.bookmarks.getText(1024240997).then((response) => {
	console.log(response);
});

Which produces the following error message:

Unhandled rejection GenericError: An error occurred

It looks like the OAuth library that I've used is broken in recent versions of Node 🙁

I've tried some quick fixes but none of them worked, so it might be best to consider an alternative (I just tested instapaper-node-sdk which seems to work just fine).

Different repo, but the head here worked for me (Node v12): https://github.com/codiechanel/instapaper-node-sdk

Thanks for the suggestion. I really was hoping to use this library mainly for getText and it's unfortunate that's like the only thing that isn't working.
