How do I actually begin to code, in Node, using the Stack Exchange API?

I am a noob at coding, so forgive me for this rather trivial question.

I am trying to make a program that can access the Stack Exchange API. Specifically I want to make a program that gets live question feed (preferably as a question object) from any Stack Exchange site of my choice.

I have scoured the Stack Exchange API page but I'm not able to understand how to exactly code it. I usually learn by examples. For example, I know that to access discord.js I write in my JS code as:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();

bot.on('message', (message) => {
    //code to deal with message
});

bot.login('BOT-TOKEN-HERE');

Is there any standard template such as the example I gave for API Stack Exchange? For certain, I'm sure we would have require('stackexchange-node'); (I believe stackexchange-node is the official SE npm package) and as well as a constructor.
