I want to store api response inside an array so that I can search whether a particular email_address is already present or not

var emailArr = [];
  request(options, function (err, response, body) {
    var jsonBody = JSON.parse(body);
 
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
    } else {
      for (var i = 0; i < jsonBody.members.length; i++) {
        emailArr.push(jsonBody.members[i].email_address);
      }
      console.log(emailArr) // values are present
    }
  });
  console.log(emailArr); // empty array

The email array is consoling empty outside the request callback function but showing values inside, please tell me what can be the better solution

You are trying to access `emailArr` before the callback is completed executing – Kunal Mukherjee Oct 18 '20 at 17:55
