Fetch and post text in NodeJS

Question

I'm having problems getting text from an API that just provides a string of text ((here)) and putting it in a response. It comes out as [object Response] when I post it, and the console.log doesn't show the content I want.

I'm using the following code:

fetch('http://example.com/gdq/api').then(
    function(response) {
      console.log(response);
      throttledSendMessage(channel, response);
      return response;
    })
  .catch(function(error) {
    throttledSendMessage(channel, "An error has occured");
  })
