Node.js http - send GET data to server

Question

How can I send data with GET method using https/http module? With POST everything works.

First code ( GET ):

var querystring = require('querystring'),
    protocol = require('https');

var options = {
  host: 'httpbin.org',
  path: 'get',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {},
  port: 443
};

var data = querystring.stringify({
  limit: 3
});

Object.assign(options.headers, {
  'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
  'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(data)
});

var req = protocol.request(options, response => {
  response.setEncoding('utf8');
  var end = '';
  response.on('data', data => end += data);
  response.on('end', () => console.log(end));
});
req.write(data);
req.end();

Response:

{
  "args": {},
  "headers": {
    "Connection": "close",
    "Content-Length": "7",
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
    "Host": "httpbin.org"
  },
  "origin": "31.0.120.218",
  "url": "https://httpbin.org/get"
}

Second code ( POST , I only replaced options object):

var options = {
  host: 'httpbin.org',
  path: 'post',
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {},
  port: 443
};

Response:

{
  "args": {},
  "data": "",
  "files": {},
  "form": {
    "limit": "3"
  },
  "headers": {
    "Connection": "close",
    "Content-Length": "7",
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
    "Host": "httpbin.org"
  },
  "json": null,
  "origin": "31.0.120.218",
  "url": "https://httpbin.org/post"
}

I will be very grateful for some help, now I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Your problem is that in a get, the query is appended to the path, as @Quy points out, get requests don't have a body. Without an understanding of how the server is set up, I would look at doing it like so:

var data = querystring.stringify({
  limit: 3
});

var options = {
  host: 'httpbin.org',
  path: 'get?' + data,
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {},
  port: 443
};
