Parse json from url into mongodb - json

Question

I'm trying to parse, some json data from an url and save it into my mongoDB model. however i can't seem to parse the JSON correctly from the body. How can i achieve this?
Code
router.get('/news', function(req, res){
request({
method: "GET",
url: "URL",
json: true
}, function(err, response, body) {
console.log(err);
res.json(body);
var info = JSON.parse(body);
console.log(info.articles);
})
});
Snippet of code from the api
{
"articles": [
{
"title": "this is the title",
"created": "12-09-2015",
"author": "John Doe",
"image": "http://url.com/test.jpg",
"body": "this is the body"
},
{
"title": "this is the title",
"created": "12-09-2015",
"author": "John Doe",
"image": "http://url.com/test.jpg",
"body": "this is the body"
}
]
}
News model
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var newsSchema = new Schema({
title: String,
created: String,
author: String,
image: String,
bodyfull: String
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('news', newsSchema);

I'm not sure I understand exactly what's going on in your example there.
But if you want to retrieve information from a request body in node, you can from a POST request
so
var News = require('newsModel'); //wherever it's located
Router.post('/news', function(req,res){
var infoToParse = req.body;
var info = JSON.parse(infoToParse);
var newsItem = new News(info);
newsItem.save(function(err){
if(err) return handleError(err)
});
}
not sure if that helps at all? I'm no node guru but that's the kind of thing I do
