How do i update heroku environment variables from a node.js script?

I am using heroku environment variables to store oauth2 tokens for authentication with a webhook i've created. As these tokens update, i need to update the environment variables from within the script after i retrieve them.

I've tried the code below, but when i run 'heroku config' from CLI, the old tokens show up.

process.env.GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN = JSON.parse(body).access_token;

Ok, so i figured it out. Just posting here for reference. You can update heroku environment variables using the heroku API. You can get a key via CLI using heroku authorization:create, and then use that API KEY in a patch call to heroku.
