Request.JS and Node.js Data problems

I am new to Node and I am developing an app that uses Request.JS to pull data from a private API. I need the data to be displayed in one of my views. Currently I have Request being required and defined in one of my routes, like so:

var models  = require('../models');// Required for sequelize
var express = require('express');// Required for the Express framework
var router = express.Router();
var request = require('request');// For requesting API data

router.get('/', function (req, res) {
        request( // Request from API
        'http://ift.tt/18pcIB1', 
        function (error, response, body) {
        if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
            console.log(body) // Print the return of the api call.
        }
      })
    models.User.findAll({ // $$$-Define User DB call. 
      }).then(function(users) {
    res.render('index', { 
      title: 'Project Insight',
      users: users,
      request: request
    });
  });
})

When this runs, I can see the output of the data in my console, but I wanted to know the best way to have it display in one of my views. Also, should I even have this in my route? Am lost, thanks for any help.
