Power BI Visual calling into REST APIs

Question

I am trying to use the 'request' npm package on the 'visuals.ts' on the constructor and then call into a custom API like the sample code shown below:

console.log('error:', error); // Print the error if one occurred

console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode); // Print the response status code if a response was received

console.log('body:', body); // Print the HTML for the Google homepage.

});

I encounter an error on the 'pbiviz start' phase while trying the above.

Hence trying to check if this is allowed and how I could go about looking up the build error
