How to make remote REST call inside Node.js? any CURL?

Look at http.request

var options = {  host: url,  port: 80,  path: '/resource?id=foo&bar=baz',  method: 'POST'};http.request(options, function(res) {  console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);  console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));  res.setEncoding('utf8');  res.on('data', function (chunk) {    console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);  });}).end();

How about using Request — Simplified HTTP client.

Edit February 2020: Request has been deprecated so you probably shouldn't use it any more.

Here's a GET:

var request = require('request');request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {    if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {        console.log(body) // Print the google web page.     }})

OP also wanted a POST:

request.post('http://service.com/upload', {form:{key:'value'}})
