There is no getDoc in nano as far as I know. There is get. Maybe try changing this:

nano.getDoc('25f2b6d1e5b83887a42c74bc9b000647', (err, result) => {
});

to:

nano.get('25f2b6d1e5b83887a42c74bc9b000647', (err, result) => {
});

and see if that works.

For example here is a simplest query to the CouchDB database that powers the npm registry:

var nano = require('nano');
var db = nano('https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry');

db.get('rsp', (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Here rsp is the document id, which is a module's name on npm.

In your case it might work if you change getDoc to get. For other function names see the documentation at:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/nano
