Call a web service

[Nikos Galanakis]

Hi , i just started to play with node i am trying to build a app.In a module i am trying to call a web service which has a API KEY.

Here is my code:

var request = require('request');

request('URL', function(error, response, body){

if(!error && response.statusCode == 200){

    console.log(body)

}

    else{

        console.log(response.statusCode);

    }

})

            The answer is 401(not authorized!!!)

Where have to put the Api key into my code to get the data from the service?

Thanks

Each web service is different; you would have to consult that service's documentation.

[Aria Stewart]

that depends on where in the response your service expects the API key.

What service is this? What authentication system (custom to the service?)

t's a typical REST service of prestashop (eshop platform).The only paradigms which have seen are using a PHP library of prestashop.

Please read the documentation of the request module. there are even examples of how to use webservices with authorisation and api keys. Hint: https://github.com/mikeal/request#http-authentication and following
