Pubnub block for running an ArcGIS demographic analysis request

esri_geoenrichment_input

/*
    This ArcGIS-based pubnub block shows a pattern for running powerful demographic data searches.

    Declare the Event Handler with the export syntax. The incoming message is called request.
    The request object can either be a single point or a polygon. Here is an example, 'y' is Latitude
    and 'x' is Longitude:

    {
        "x": -122.435, 
        "y": 37.785    
    }
*/
export default (request) => {

    // Require XHR to make external calls
    const xhr = require("xhr");
    
    // Require console to print debug information
    const console = require('console');
    
    // Need a token? Create a free developer account at developers.arcgis.com
