Cleanest way of saving image locally using request:

const request = require('request');
request('http://link/to/your/image/file.png').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('fileName.png'))

If you need to add authentication token in headers do this:

const request = require('request');
request({
        url: 'http://link/to/your/image/file.png',
        headers: {
            "X-Token-Auth": TOKEN,
        }
    }).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('filename.png'))
