Once I develop a module to name an API with HTTPS I can get the code to work if the handed choices are onerous set.

Module with choices:

module.exports = (host) => {
  const choices = {
    host,
    technique: 'GET',
    port: 443,
    path: `/api/newest?access_key=${course of.env.TOKEN}`,
  }
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    strive {
      https
        .get(choices, (res) => {
          console.log(res.statusCode)
          if (typeof res.statusCode !== 'undefined' && res.statusCode.toString()[0] === '2') {
            res.on('information', (chunk) => {
              console.log(chunk.toString('utf8'))
            })
            resolve(false)
          } else {
            resolve(false)
          }
        })
        .on('error', (err) => {
          console.error(err)
          resolve(Error(err))
        })
    } catch (err) {
      reject(Error(err))
    }
  })
}

once I take away the choices I can get a response:

module with out choices:

const testedURL = `https://foobar.com/api/newest?access_key=api-token`

module.exports = () => {
  return new Promise((testedURL, reject) => {
    strive {
      https
        .get(choices, (res) => {
          console.log(res.statusCode)
          if (typeof res.statusCode !== 'undefined' && res.statusCode.toString()[0] === '2') {
            res.on('information', (chunk) => {
              console.log(chunk.toString('utf8'))
            })
            resolve(false)
          } else {
            resolve(false)
          }
        })
        .on('error', (err) => {
          console.error(err)
          resolve(Error(err))
        })
    } catch (err) {
      reject(Error(err))
    }
  })
}

and this works:

module.exports = (host) => {
  const choices = {
    host,
    technique: 'GET',
    port: 443,
    path: `/api/newest?access_key=${course of.env.TOKEN}`,
  }
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    strive {
      https
        .get(`${choices.host}${choices.path}`, (res) => {
          console.log(res.statusCode)
          if (typeof res.statusCode !== 'undefined' && res.statusCode.toString()[0] === '2') {
            res.on('information', (chunk) => {
              console.log(chunk.toString('utf8'))
            })
            resolve(false)
          } else {
            resolve(false)
          }
        })
        .on('error', (err) => {
          console.error(err)
          resolve(Error(err))
        })
    } catch (err) {
      reject(Error(err))
    }
  })
}

pondering it was the best way I wrote the get in HTTPS I rewrote it to duplicate the documentation:

module.exports = (host) => {
  const choices = {
    host,
    technique: 'GET',
    port: 443,
    path: `/api/newest?access_key=${course of.env.TOKEN}`,
  }

  // console.log(choices)
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // I can copy this from the terminal and get the API response within the browser:
    // console.log(`${choices.host}${choices.path}`) 

    strive {
      const req = https.request(choices, (res) => {
        if (typeof res.statusCode !== 'undefined' && res.statusCode.toString()[0] === '2') {
          res.on('information', (chunk) => {
            const textChunk = chunk.toString('utf8')
            console.log(textChunk)
          })
          resolve(Error('Standing code not right'))
        }
      })
      req.on('error', (e) => {
        console.error(e)
        reject(Error(e))
      })
    } catch (e) {
      reject(Error(e))
    }
}

however I get the identical error response:

{
 Error: join ECONNREFUSED X.X.X.X:443
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (internet.js:1106:14)
  errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'join',
  handle: 'X.X.X.X',
  port: 443 
}

In my analysis it seems I am constructing it accurately:

• Https request not working in node.js
• HTTPS
• node.js Error: join ECONNREFUSED; response from server

I can confirm my choices match with the onerous coded URL. What am I doing flawed in my choices that forestalls it from working but it surely works once I move it as ${choices.host}${choices.path}?
