Pass header value for Nodejs API

Question

Good personal day I am with following problem, I have an API to be consumed, but it expects a return token validated internally, this token is passed as parameter via header, but I do not use JWT, I take a token generated by the bank. My question is precisely how to send via header this value, to make the API receive. I’ve never done this process, the code I have today is this.

application.get('/listarEmpresas', function(req, res) {

    var request = require('request');

    request('APIURL', function(error, response, body) {

        console.log('error:', error);
        let url = req.url
        console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode);
        console.log('body:', body);
        var arrayJSON = JSON.parse(body);

    });
});

I’d be grateful if anyone could shed some light.

You can pass the parameters to the function get:

const headers = {
  token: 'TEXTO DO TOKEN',
};

const parametros = {
  url: 'APIURL',
  headers,
};

request.get(parametros)...
