I'm a newbie in Node.js and trying to use API token to access Grafana. And I created one API token by following instruction from Grafana page.
However, I don't know how to make API calls from my code of node.js to access my local server of grafana page. Also, I have a local login-page by using mongoDB to manage users.
How can I make Node.js API calls to access my local server of grafana page?
Please help me out here.. I'm having hard time on this.. If you want me to show code, I can edit here..
EDIT: This is my whole code for app.js

Edited more
app.get('/grafana', isLoggedIn, function(req, res){
console.log('Accessing to grafana');
var url = 'http://localhost:8080/api/dashboards/db/test';
request.get(url,{
auth: {
bearer: 'API token from Grafana page'
}
});
res.redirect(url);
});
Thank you..
