What am I doing wrong or is the package invalid now?

[transitive-bullshit]

It's likely that some of the dependencies are out-of-date. Please feel free to send a PR if you get it working.

[smarifz]

npm install git://github.com/fisch0920/snapchat.git

This worked for me.

[VirenMohindra]

+1 @smarifz comment sorted everything out. It was an out of date dependency issue. Refer to #22
