not able to consume thezipcodes.com search api data

I am new in nodejs and I want to use www.thezipcodes.com /api/v1/search api to search the zip code to locatioin.

I am not able to use the location returned by the API.

const request = require('request');
request('https://thezipcodes.com/api/v1/search?zipCode=13040&countryCode=US&apiKey=<apiKey>', (err, res, body) => {
    if (err) { return console.log(err); }    
    console.log(body.location);
});

Output is

undefined

In curl it is giving the output but in nodeapi I am not able to use the location array.
