What could cause “connect ETIMEDOUT” error when the URL is working in browser?

Question

I train myslef with NodeJS and tried a simple GET call. Here is my code:

var http = require(\'http\');

var options = {
    host: \'www.boardgamegeek.com\',
             


        

Answer 1

The following change with the request worked for me:

 var options = {
         proxy:'PROXY URL', 
         uri: 'API URL',
         method: 'GET' 
         }
 request(options, function (err, response, body) {
     if(err){
        console.log('error:', err);
       } else {
     console.log('body:', body);
      }
   });
