Extraneous dependency: `request-promise-native`

[mvandervliet]

Overview of the Issue

This package includes a reference to the very sizable request-promise-native package under dependencies here, and is implemented as part of makeRequest helper function.

👉

The exported makeRequest helper function is not officially documented, and appears to be utilized only within unit test scripts.

Reproduce the Error

npm install
npm ls --prod | grep request-promise-native

Without specific knowledge of the project roadmap for exposing such http helper functions, it may be worthwhile either installing under devDependencies or refactoring to use a more lightweight HTTP request package:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/got
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-fetch

@mvandervliet you are totally right, I was exposing it to be used in other projects, but it shouldn't be a required dependency. Please review #2 if you have some time! Thank you!
