What exactly does the Trello REST API return when I request the boards?

Question

I'm trying to request all of the boards that my account is in. When I make the request, I do it to a custom class package that I made. I know that it works because it does return something, but I just am not sure where to look for the actual information about my boards.

Code

This is where I am pointing my request to.

GET https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?fields=name,url&key=${this.key}&token=${this.token}

This is what I my package is using to make the request.

getBoards(callback) {
        fetch(`https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?fields=name,url&key=${this.key}&token=${this.token}`,{
            method: 'GET'
        })
            .then(r => {
                callback(r,false)
            })
            .catch(e => {
                callback(null,e)
            })
    }

And this is what I am using to request the package's function.

const boards = trello.getBoards((boards,err) => {
            if (err) {
              console.log(err);
            } else {
              // do stuff with the boards
            }
          })

  }
}

I have four boards and am looking for the ID of a specific board. Does anybody know what this returns? Thanks in advance.

trello node.js rest

I've figured out the issue. Seems like the package that I was using, node-fetch had some weird thing to do with promises on response. Basically, what I did to solve this issue was form the response into a promise, return it, then get it again, which would return the actual response. This has nothing to do with trello or any REST API out there, but when using node-fetch I need to do that promise thing.

fetch(`https://api.trello.com/1/cards/${card.id}/customFieldItems?key=${process.env.TRELLOAPIKEY}&token=${process.env.TRELLOAPITOKEN}`,{
  method: `GET`
})
  .then(response2 => response2.text()) // Important Line
  .then(res2 => {
    res2 = JSON.parse(res2); // Variable res2 will be the data
  })
  .catch(err2 => {
    console.log(err2);
  })
