How to convert this cURL request into node request call? - node.js

Question

I have tried every way I can think of to format this cURL request into something I can do server side on node and I keep getting back an invalid credentials response. I know the creds are valid so I must come to the conclusion that the code is making the wrong type of request.
cURL request:
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.timekit.io/v2/bookings\
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--user : api_key_dfagafrgaegrfareVhROys9V1bUJ1z7
my format:
var options = {
url: 'https://api.timekit.io/v2/bookings',
headers:{
"Content-Type": "application/json",
'user': APP_KEY
},
method:'GET'
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body);
}
}
request(options, callback);

I think you mean --user user:password in your curl command.
When you pass --user to curl, it sends it to the server as an basic authorization header (with the user:password encoded using base64). You can try this by running it against httpbin.org:
curl --request GET --url http://httpbin.org/headers --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --user foo:bar
{
"headers": {
"Accept": "*/*",
"Authorization": "Basic Zm9vOmJhcg==",
"Connection": "close",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Host": "httpbin.org",
"User-Agent": "curl/7.61.1"
}
}
As you can see, they received the header "Authorization": "Basic Zm9vOmJhcg==" where Zm9vOmJhcg== is the base64 encode of foo:bar
