how to do this curl operation in Node.js using request library - node.js

Question

How can I convert this curl operation using request Node.js library:
curl -L -X GET -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Authorization: authorization..." -H "Scope: 11111111" https://url/download >> file.gz
/*the -L is curl option which means --location Follow redirects (H)
--location-trusted Like '--location', and send auth to other hosts (H)*/

Answer 1

If you just want to download to a file, you can use a head request type.
The request will look like so:
request.head({
url: "https://url/download",
followAllRedirects: true,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization':'authorization...',
'Scope': '11111111'
}
}, (err, res, body) => {
request('https://url/download')
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(`tmp/${res.path}`)).on('close', (data, err) => {
if(err) console.log(`Unable to write to file ${err}`)
console.log('Done')
})
})
I have used a similar snippet which worked well
Use Postmans code generator
Click code on the top left
Paste your curl request
Select Node.js Request from dropdown on top left of popup
You should then get JS snippet converted from your working cURL request

Here is the solution we have to put request inside another because: so the first request returns the url and the second one will download the file
const options = {
url: url,
headers: {
Authorization: `auth`,
'scope': profileId,
'content-type': 'application/json'
},
};
const r = request.get(options, async (err, res, body) => {
const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(`${path}.gz`);
request(res.request.uri.href).pipe(fileStream);
// path exists unless there was an error
});
