API call from CURL to Node

I'm working on an API that lets me test my request string online and gives me a curl statement (so far pretty standard).

The issue is that I can't put that curl into a Node.js code.

Here's the curl:

curl -X GET --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer <my_key_here>" "https://api.<api_name>.com/stations?limit=20&searchstring=cancun*"

I tried to use Postman to parse that url, but no success.

The company doesn't provide a module (to my knowledge) that I can call from the Node.js script.

I'm following the Node.js requests page for my .js file. https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback

var request = require('request');

request({
url: 'https://api.<api_name>.com/stations',

headers: {
    'Accept': application/json,
    'Authorization: Bearer': <my_key>
}

'Authorization: Bearer': <my_key>`

does the wrong thing. The header name (and thus the property name) must be Authorization, and Bearer .... should be the value. Thus:

'Authorization': 'Bearer <my_key_as_a_string>'

or

'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + my_key_as_a_variable
