Javascript Node Request How To Send GET Variables

I see that the request package is the standard for making HTTP API requests with NodeJS. I need to use it to send some requests but in the docs and all the examples I find, I don't see how to pass GET variables. I only see how to pass POST params. Here's my code:

request.get("https://api.example.com", function (err, res, body) {
        if (!err) {
            var resultsObj = JSON.parse(body);
            //Just an example of how to access properties:
            console.log(resultsObj.MRData);
        }
    });

Where to set the GET? I don't like doing it in the URL.

You're looking for the qs property. From the docs:

qs - object containing querystring values to be appended to the uri

request({
  qs: {
   foo: 'bar',
  },
  uri: 'http://foo.bar/'
}, callback)
