title: NodeJS HttpGet to a URL with JSON response
body: <p>I'm new to Node development and I'm trying to make a server-side API call using a RESTful protocol with a JSON response. I've read up on both the <a href="http://developer.cumtd.com/documentation/v2.2/Responses" rel="noreferrer">API documentation</a> and this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/15558968/2865101">SO post</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The API that I'm trying to pull from tracks busses and returns data in a JSON output. I'm confused on how to make a HTTP GET request with all parameters and options in the actual URL.  The API and it's response can even be accessed through a browser or using the 'curl' command. <a href="http://developer.cumtd.com/api/v2.2/json/GetStop?key=d99803c970a04223998cabd90a741633&amp;stop_id=it" rel="noreferrer">http://developer.cumtd.com/api/v2.2/json/GetStop?key=d99803c970a04223998cabd90a741633&amp;stop_id=it</a> </p>
  
  <p>How do I write Node server-side code to make GET requests to a resource with options in the URL and interpret the JSON response?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
