How to connect node.js to Sharepoint 2013

I am trying to connect our company intranet to the sharepoint instance using node.js

Sharepoint is 2013, I am using example code that I found online, I try to catch all exceptions, however I get an exception when trying to connect:

"Cannot read property 'S:Fault' of undefined

Here is my code:

var SP          = require("sharepoint"),
    strSite     = "http://ift.tt/1cybkxQ",
    spCli       = new SP.RestService(strSite),
    strLogin    = "domain/simon.platten",
    strPassword = "mypassword",
    lstAbsence  = spCli.list("Holiday & Absence"),
    showResponse = function(err, data) {
       console.dir(err);
       console.dir(data);
    };
spCli.signin(strLogin, strPassword, function() {
   try{
      lstAbsence.get(showResponse);    
   } catch( ex ) {
      console.log("Error during signin:" + ex);
   }    
});
