Description
The first sample code in this item throws an error (ReferenceError) regarding two undefined constants. The first one is 'querystring' on line #1 and the second one is 'http' on line #16. Both are undeclared.
Please view attached screenshot
Actually, both errors can be fixed if the aforementioned lines are updated to:
Line #1
const postData = JSON.stringify({
Line #16
const req = require('http').request(options, (res) => {
An alternative fix for Line #16 could also be leaving as it is, but declaring the constant in the beginning of the code:
const http = require('http');

- I would like to work on this issue and
submit a pull request.

Thanks for catching this.
I'd agree with this change, since
querystringmodule has been marked as legacy. Replace it withJSON.stringifyis right here.I'd prefer the alternative.
const http = require('http');is more common way to use module.himanshu007-creator commentedon May 22, 2021
