express make request to api
// Requirements: npm install request const request = require('request'); request('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums', function (error, response, body) { if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) { console.log( body ); } })
Here is what the above code is Doing:
1. We’re requiring the request module.
2. We’re making a request to the URL https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums.
3. We’re passing a callback function to the request method.
4. The callback function has three parameters: error, response, and body.
5. If there is no error and the response code is 200, we print the body.
