Add function to query the API

[hturner]

@annajayne has now added an API to https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/. So it would be good to add a function/functions to make it easier to query the API.

Some initial scripts showing how to query the API are available here:

https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/api/example/api_example_single_report_detail.r.txt
https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/api/example/api_example_multiple_reports.r.txt

To use the API you will need to register an account and use the API Key shown on the welcome page.

To register or login visit: tdor.translivesmatter.info/account/ (please wait until you are at the hackathon as there is no email notification yet, so @annajayne will have to watch the logs to activate your account)
