External API Calls With Express, Node.JS and Require Module

Question

I have a route as followed:

var express = require(\'express\');
var router = express.Router();
var request = require(\'request\');

router.get(\'/\', functio         


        

Answer 1

Per every route in Express, it is necessary to send a response (partial or complete) or call next, or do both. Your route handler does neither. Try

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var request = require('request');

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  request({
    uri: 'http://www.giantbomb.com/api/search',
    qs: {
      api_key: '123456',
      query: 'World of Warcraft: Legion'
    },
    function(error, response, body) {
      if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
        console.log(body);
        res.json(body);
      } else {
        res.json(error);
      }
    }
  });
});

module.exports = router;

and see what data this route handler responds with.
