Responses from the API are by default compressed with GZIP. Your browser knows how to handle this; with most libraries you have to specify explicitly that you want support for compression.

Responses from the API are compressed with GZIP (by default; you can request DEFLATE as well). Your browser automatically knows how to handle this; with most development libraries you have to specify explicitly that you want support for compression.

I don't have experience with the 'request' library in NodeJS, but the solution in this Stack Overflow answer should work. You don't need to add the 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip' header, though.

Responses from the API are always compressed with GZIP. Your browser knows how to handle this; with most libraries you have to specify explicitly that you want support for compression.
