How can i use Twitter's search API in nodejs using the fetch API?

I'm trying to use Twitter's search API in nodejs. I know there are 3rd party libraries for it, but I'm trying to hit the endpoint using fetch. Here's my code:

const fetch = require('fetch');
const url = `https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json`
const options = {
    outputEncoding: 'utf-8',    
    headers: {
        q: 'cbd',
        consumer_key: '****',
        consumer_secret: '****',
        access_token: '****',
        access_token_secret: '****',
    }
}
fetch.fetchUrl(url, options, (err, meta, data) => {
    if(err) console.log(err)
    console.log(data)
})

I am confused as to where the keys would go. I have put them in the options for the fetch call, but I'm not sure if that's where it should be. I get a 'Bad Authentication Data' error here. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use something like following.

var fetchUrl = require("fetch").fetchUrl;

fetchUrl('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=from%3Atwitterdev&result_type=mixed&count=2',
       {
         headers: {
            authorization: `Oauth-generated-key`
            }
        }, (err, meta, body) => {
            if (err) {
                console.log('error', err);
                return false;
            }
            console.log('body', body.toString());
            console.log('meta', meta);
           }

       )

You can replace Oauth-generated-key with

OAuth oauth_consumer_key="xvz1evFS4wEEPTGEFPHBog",
oauth_nonce="kYjzVBB8Y0ZFabxSWbWovY3uYSQ2pTgmZeNu2VS4cg",
oauth_signature="tnnArxj06cWHq44gCs1OSKk%2FjLY%3D",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="1569222858",
oauth_token="370773112-GmHxMAgYyLbNEtIKZeRNFsMKPR9EyMZeS9weJAEb",
oauth_version="1.0"
