How to make an https version of a Unirest example - node.js

Question

I would like to use the https library in node.js to send a request to this api:
https://rapidapi.com/dimas/api/NasaAPI?endpoint=apiendpoint_b4e69440-f966-11e7-809f-87f99bda0814getPictureOfTheDay
The given example on the RapidAPI website uses Unirest, and I would like to only use the https library. I've tried to write it like this:
const https = require('https');
var link = "https://NasaAPIdimasV1.p.rapidapi.com/getPictureOfTheDay";
var options = {host: "https://NasaAPIdimasV1.p.rapidapi.com/getPictureOfTheDay",
path: "/", headers: {"X-RapidAPI-Key": "---MY KEY(Yes, I've replaced it)---", "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}}
https.get(link, options, (resp) => {
let data = '';
resp.on('data', (chunk) => {
data += chunk;
});
resp.on('end', () => {
console.log(data);
});
}).on("error", (err) => {
console.log("https error 4: " + err.message);
});
But that returns the following response:
{"message":"Endpoint\/ does not exist"}
Thanks for any help

There are several mistakes.
First, you essentially pass URL in https twice - first as link param, second as combination of host and path properties for options param.
Second, your host is actually the full path - but it shouldn't be. In the end, looks like the library got confused and sent request to https://NasaAPIdimasV1.p.rapidapi.com/ instead.
Finally, this particular API requires using 'POST', not 'GET' method. That's actually mentioned in the documentation. That's why you have 'endpoint does not exist' error even on correctly formed request.
One possible approach is dropping link altogether, sending URL as part of options:
var options = {
host: 'NasaAPIdimasV1.p.rapidapi.com',
method: 'POST',
path: '/getPictureOfTheDay',
headers: {/* the same */}
};
https.request(options, (resp) => { /* the same */ }).end();
