Convert AJAX request into HTTP request in nodejs - node.js

Question

Actually i am using ajax call to connect to a 3rd party api when i am using the api on browser and i am able to get the data from the api.
Here is the AJAX code:-
var settings = {
async: true,
//crossDomain: true,
url: "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/schedule/?access_token=XXX"
//"url": "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/match/indaus_2020_one-day_02/?access_token=XXX"
//bblt20_2019_g28
};
//create token for the api for 24hours
let token;
function getToken() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/auth/",
data: {
access_key: "********************************",
secret_key: "********************************",
app_id: "http://localhost:8000/",
device_id: "developer"
},
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
token = data.auth.access_token;
console.log(token,);
//do something when request is successfull
createUpcomingMatchesSchedule();
},
dataType: "json"
});
}
function createUpcomingMatchesSchedule() {
var urlJson = settings.url;
urlJson = urlJson.replace(/XXX/g, token);
settings.url = urlJson;
$.ajax(settings).done(function(response) {
console.log(response);
toGetUpcomingMatches(response);
});
}
Now i want to convert this ajax method into http request so that i can use the data on the server using nodejs.
Here is the code:-
const { db } = require("../../utility/admin");
var request = require("request");
// //*************************** API INITIALIZATION ********************************
var settings = {
async: true,
//crossDomain: true,
url: "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/schedule/?access_token=XXX"
//"url": "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/match/indaus_2020_one-day_02/?access_token=XXX"
//bblt20_2019_g28
};
var options = {
method: "POST",
// hostname: "https://rest.cricketapi.com",
uri: "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/auth/",
access_key: "********************************",
secret_key: "********************************",
app_id: "http://localhost:8000/",
device_id: "developer"
};
let token;
function getToken() {
request(options, function(error, response, body) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(body);
token = body.auth.access_token;
console.log(token);
// console.log(response);
}
});
}
module.exports = { getToken };
But i am not able to access the data from the api when i am using the nodejs code.
Thanks in advance

👨‍🏫 For an example, you can look at this code below: 👇
var options = {
method: "POST",
// hostname: "https://rest.cricketapi.com",
uri: "https://rest.cricketapi.com/rest/v2/auth/",
// make sure, on this API, use body or headers.
// If body, you can change this `headers` to `form`.
headers: {
access_key: "********************************",
secret_key: "********************************",
app_id: "http://localhost:8000/",
device_id: "developer"
}
};
let token;
function getToken() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
request(options, function(error, response, body) {
if (error) return reject(error)
body = JSON.parse(body);
console.log(body);
token = body.auth.access_token;
return resolve(token);
});
})
}
I hope it can help you 🙏.
