如何使用节点 js 中的 API 密钥从 REST api 获取数据？

Question

I am using a 3rd party REST API in my node server. The 3rd party API provider as given me an API key and an example in cURL as follows:

$ curl -u APIKey@https://xyzsite.com/api/v1/users

I am not sure how I do it in node js. I have tried following but no luck. I get

var options = {
  host: "xyzsite.com",
  path: "/api/v1/users",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Basic " + myAPIKey
  }
};


https.get(options, function(res, error) {
  var body = "";
  res.on('data', function(data) {
    body += data;
  });
  res.on('end', function() {

    console.log(body);
  });
  res.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e.message);
  });
});

Console message

{
  "message": "No authentication credentials provided."
}

Change your request like this..

https.get(myAPIKey + "@https://xyzsite.com/api/v1/users",function(res,error){
  var body = "";
  res.on('data', function(data) {
    body += data;
  });
  res.on('end', function() {

    console.log(body);
  });
  res.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e.message);
  });
});

Or, if you want to use the options object..

var options={
  host:"xyzsite.com",
  path:"/api/v1/users",
  auth: myAPIKey
};


https.get(options,function(res,error){
  var body = "";
  res.on('data', function(data) {
    body += data;
  });
  res.on('end', function() {

    console.log(body);
  });
  res.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e.message);
  });
});
