    You can use the request module, the documentation has a lot of great examples how to call REST API methods.

    And for Twilio you can read this guide “Getting Started with Twilio and Node.js” and use the twilio module.

    Let’s assume you have an API call that is already working with curl, something like:

    curl -X POST -H “Token:SecurityToken”
    -H “Content-Type: application/json”
    https://yourURL.com
    -d ‘{“records”:[{“value”:”Testing the API Function”}]}’

    You will need to first install proper modules for your node.js:

    npm install request

    Then you will need to create a js file with the following content:

    var Request = require("request");

// Preparing API CAll with Post Action and its arguments
Request.post({
    "headers": { "content-type": "application/json" ,"Token":"SecurityToken" },
    "url": "YourURL.com",
    "body": JSON.stringify({"records":[{"value":"Testing the API Function"}]})
}, (error, response, body) => {
    if(error) {
        return console.dir(error);
    }
    // console.log(response);
    console.dir(JSON.parse(body));
});
