Answer 1

To access Dynamics CRM 2016 via REST APIs you should know your Organisation Service Base URL. You can retrieve the URL by following below steps:

login to CRM -> Settings -> Customizations -> Developer Resource -> Service Root URL

Sample of Service Root URL : https://xxx.api.crm8.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/

Now, you can use this URL to access all the resources of Dynamics CRM with OAuth authentication. You can use Request node module to access the Dynamics CRM resources like account, contact, etc with NodeJS.

Sample URL to retrieve all Contacts from Dynamics CRM as below:

GET https://xxx.api.crm8.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/contacts
Headers:
Authorization - Bearer <Access_Token>
Accept - application/json

Also, please take care of proxy as well if you are in secured network.
