const https = require("https");

const url = 'https://api.darksky.net/forecast/924276c331b8a398db96364a44fd10a2/40,-50?units=si'

const request = https.request(url, (response) => {
    let data = '';

    response.on('data', (chunk) => {
        data = data + chunk.toString();
    })

    response.on('end', () => {
        const body = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log(body);
    })
})

request.on('error', (error) => {
    console.log('An error', error)
})

request.end();

This is the console result
