(intermediate value).get is not a function

Issue

I am trying to integrate an API with my angular project which displays the internet speed of my connection. this is an api which is provided by fast.com - https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-speedtest-api I am trying to follow just as how it is being mentioned in the doc of NPM package. The error that I am receiving is

app.component.ts:18 (intermediate value)(intermediate value)(intermediate value).get is not a function

As per what i understood on google is it must be a syntax error but i dont find any errors in my typescript file. below is my typescript code

const https = require('https');
const http = require('http');
const Timer = require('./Timer');
const ApiError = require('./ApiError');

    const FastSpeedtest = require("fast-speedtest-api");
     
    let speedtest = new FastSpeedtest({
        token: "YXNkZmFTOKENoYXNkZmhrYWxm", // required
        verbose: false, // default: false
        timeout: 10000, // default: 5000
        https: true, // default: true
        urlCount: 5, // default: 5
        bufferSize: 8, // default: 8
        unit: FastSpeedtest.UNITS.Mbps // default: Bps
    });
     
    speedtest.getSpeed().then((s :any) => {
        console.log(`Speed: ${s} Mbps`);
    }).catch((e :any) => {
        console.error(e.message);
    });

just in case, i have also checked the async method that was there from the npm package itself. I do not find an error in there as well.

/**
 * Get data from the specified URL
 *
 * @async
 * @param {string} url The URL to download from
 * @return {Promise} The request and response from the URL
 */
async get(url) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        const request = (this.https ? https : http).get(url, (response) => {
            if (response.headers['content-type'].includes('json')) {
                response.setEncoding('utf8');
                let rawData = '';
                response.on('data', (chunk) => {
                    rawData += chunk;
                });
                response.on('end', () => {
                    const parsedData = JSON.parse(rawData);
                    response.data = parsedData;
                    resolve({
                        response,
                        request
                    });
                });
            } else {
                resolve({
                    response,
                    request
                });
            }
        }).on('error', (e) => {
            reject(e);
        });
    });
}

what might be the issue?

Solution

fast-speedtest-api is meant to be used on nodejs not an angular app !
