curl -v "https://us-extract.api.smartystreets.com/?auth-id=AUTH_ID&auth-token=AUTH_TOKEN" -H "content-type: application/json" --data-binary ""

you can use node-fetch or request or axios or built-in 'https' modules — Sudhakar Ramasamy, Oct 11 '19 at 09:30

There are some very handy tools for this, check out https://curl.trillworks.com/#node, it will convert curl requests to code in Node.js, Python, Go etc.

I've changed your curl request slightly to:

curl -v -X POST "https://us-extract.api.smartystreets.com/?auth-id=AUTH_ID&auth-token=AUTH_TOKEN" -H "content-type: application/json" --data-binary "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway,Mountain View, CA 94043"

(Note I've redacted your auth-id and auth-token, we don't other people to use these.. :-))

In your example the output will be like as below, note this uses the request library. You'll have to do an npm install request to add this to your project.

var request = require('request');

// Put your auth id and token here.
const AUTH_ID = "";
const AUTH_TOKEN = "";

var headers = {
    'content-type': 'application/json'
};

var dataString = '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway,Mountain View, CA 94043';

var options = {
    url: 'https://us-extract.api.smartystreets.com/?auth-id=' + AUTH_ID + '&auth-token=' + AUTH_TOKEN,
    method: 'POST',
    headers: headers,
    body: dataString,
    json: true // Set this to parse the response to an object.
};

function callback(error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log(body);
        // Log the API output.
        (body.addresses || []).forEach((element, index) => {
            console.log(`api_output (address #${index+1}):`, element.api_output);
        });
    }
}

request(options, callback);

i have a small doubt how can i get api_output details in json body iam using console.log(body.api_output); but the result is undefined – Mariam Oct 11 '19 at 11:42
Oh yes, I'll update the answer. If we add an option of json: true to the options object, we'll get back the response as an object rather than as a string. – Terry Lennox Oct 11 '19 at 11:45
I've updated the answer, each address has an api_output array that we can access as above. I believe this is what you need! – Terry Lennox Oct 11 '19 at 11:50
