Node.js 3rd party REST API call - node.js

Question

Im using nodejs to make a call to a 3rd party API. My code code returns the correct data for an id that I'm passing in my backend. When I run my app, to retrieve the data I go to localhost:5000/api/Dls.
My code
app.get("/api/Dls", (req, res) => {
const response = {
success: false
};
if (req.user && Authorized.myToken) {
response.success = true;
response.data = {};
response.data.user = req.user;
const id = response.data.user.sub;
var options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://someApi/byId/' + 'id',
headers:
{
Accept: 'application/json',
Authorization: 'Bearer' + ' ' + Authorized.myToken
}
};
request(options, function (error, response, body){
if (error) {
console.log(error);
return;
}
const data = response.body;
const userDls = JSON.parse(data)
return res.json(userDls);
});
}
});
Now I'm trying to do something like this localhost:5000/api/Dls/1234 instead of using a hard coded id in the backend
I attempted doing the following but when I enter a valid id in the url (ex. localhost:5000/api/Dls/1234) I get this "", any idea to what I should be doing?
app.get("/api/Dls/:id", (req, res) => {
const response = {
success: false
};
if (Authorized.myToken) {
response.success = true;
var options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://someApi/byId/',
headers:
{
Accept: 'application/json',
Authorization: 'Bearer' + ' ' + Authorized.myToken
}
};
request(options, function (error, response, body){
if (error) {
console.log(error);
return;
}
const data = response.body;
const userDls = JSON.parse(data)
return res.json(userDls);
});
}
});
Any feedback would be appreciated!

You are not passing the route id to the api.
response.success = true;
var options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://someApi/byId/' + req.params.id,
headers:{
Accept: 'application/json',
Authorization: 'Bearer' + ' ' + Authorized.myToken
}
};
