Passing the data from the Express API Parameter to Request Module in MEAN Stack

Question

I am facing below issue with passing the parameters from the Express API to Request module URL.

In the below code Suppose I have the request details as

request_data.url = http://localhost:3000/interface/en/

When users enters the URL as http://localhost:3000/interface/en/123456

I wanted to send the 123456 to the line

url: request_data.url + acct,

Hence my final url for the request module becomes as http://localhost:3000/interface/en/123456

But my below code is not working , can someone help me here or suggest me what changes are requires

Code

app.get('/interface/:env/:acct', (req, res) => {
    var acct = req.params.acct;
    var env = req.params.env;
    var hsResponse = request({
        proxy: proxyUrl,
        url: request_data.url + acct,
        headers: request_data.headers,
        method: request_data.method,
        form: oauth.authorize(request_data)
    }, function (error, response, body) {
        res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        res.send(body); //<-- send hsResponse response body back to your API consumer
    });
});

Please use following code,

              app.get('/interface/:env/:acct', (req, res) => {
                  var acct = req.params.acct;
                  var env = req.params.env;

                  // here you need to update your url
                  request_data.url = request_data.url + acct;

                  var hsResponse = request({
                      proxy: proxyUrl,
                      url: request_data.url ,
                      headers: request_data.headers,
                      method: request_data.method,
                      form: oauth.authorize(request_data)
                  }, function (error, response, body) {
                      res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
                      res.send(body); //<-- send hsResponse response body back to your API consumer
                  });
              });

I think you are using OAuth, where you passing form field to the request, which will need to authorize with existing mapped request_data like URL and other attributes.

Hope this will help you !!
