JavaScript

All Cyrillic characters sent using the 'request' and 'http' modules end up as an incomprehensible cluster of Latin numbers and letters.

I send it to api.vk, and the following comes up:

Answer 3

I will offer a more modern version of vk-io .
In your version, you get a chunk, not a full string:

.on('response', (response) => {
   let body = '';
  response.on('data', (chunk) => {
     body += String(chunk);
  });
  response.on('end', () => {
     body = JSON.parse(body);

     console.log(body);
  });
})
