This client is built to mimic the API as documented on http://doc.openapi.shl.se

Many methods support extra query parameters, if they are supported in the API they can be supplied in an optional query argument as final (or only) parameter to the matching method. Most of the time this is the teamId, which is supplied as an array of three letter team codes.
