OUTLOOK REST API Declining an Event using Node.js

I am trying to decline the event created using Outlook REST API. I had the id of the event which was created. My request includes Node.js Code :

var body =JSON.stringify(
    {
        "Comment": "Sorry, maybe next time!",
        "SendResponse": "true"
    });
    var options1 = {
                host : 'outlook.office365.com',
                port : 443,
                method : 'POST',
                headers : {
                        'Authorization' : 'Bearer' + token,
                        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(body)   
            },
            json : body,
            path : '/api/v2.0/me/events/EVENT_ID_RECEIVED/decline'   
                }
     };
var str=""; 
     var apiCall=https.request(options1,function(response){

        response.on('data',function(chunk){
            str += chunk;
        });
        response.on('end' , function(){
            console.log("data received is : "+response.data);
            console.log("value is : "+str);
        });
        response.on('error', function(e) {
                      console.log("error received : "+e.message);
               });

    });
    apiCall.write(body);
    apiCall.end();

I have checked that the event was present but still this error came.

There is a property called iCalUid that is the same for an event both in the organizer's and attendee's mailbox. However, it looks like $filter using this property isn't yet supported. We will look into adding this. In the meantime, if you know other details of the event such as start time and end time, you can ask for all events during that timeframe, and confirm you are declining the correct event by comparing iCalUid property of the event in the organizer's mailbox with iCalUid property of the event in the attendee's mailbox.
