Node.js - Request to an API using Http Client

 To Create an Http client to consume the APIs in Node, we have a very popular third-party package i.e Request. But, Request is now fully deprecated, you can check more details at npmjs.com/package/request

As an alternative, we are going to use the postman-request npm package. This package has bug fixes that the Request module does not have.
Get users from the API

 

const request = require("postman-request");

const getusers = (Mycallback) => {
  request("https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2", function ( error,response,body  ) {

    if (error) {
      return console.log(error);
    }

 if(body){
  Mycallback(body)
 }
  });
};

getusers((data) => {
  console.log(data);
});



Save Users to the Json File


const request = require('postman-request');
const fs = require('fs')

const getusers = (Mycallback) => {
  request("https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2", function ( error,response,body  ) {

    if (error) {
      return console.log(error);
    }

 if(body){
  Mycallback(body)
 }
  }).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('users.json'))
};

getusers((data) => {
  console.log(data);
});
