Hi, I am trying to connect to Enterprise App Search via node.js. I followed the below github code  
[https://github.com/elastic/app-search-node](https://github.com/elastic/app-search-node)

but this is the error I am getting while connecting to the enterprise engine I have.

```auto
    Error: Unauthorized

      reason: 'missing authentication credentials for REST request [/engines/test-engine/documents]',
      header: [Object]
    }
  ]
}

```

Can anyone let me know how do I add my credentials ? This is my code

```auto
const AppSearchClient = require('@elastic/app-search-node');
const apiKey = 'API_KEY'
const baseUrlFn = () => 'Here I am using my Enterprise App Search Endpoint API'

const client = new AppSearchClient(undefined, apiKey, baseUrlFn)

//A dummy data to add
let data = {
    "id": "some123",
    "title": "random",
    "description": "Split into the separate Rincon Mountain and Tucson Mountain districts, this park is evidence that the dry Sonoran Desert is still home to a great variety of life spanning six biotic communities.

}
    client
        .indexDocuments('test-engine', data)
        .then(response => {
            console.log(response)
            return res.status(200).json({
                message: response.body
            })
        }).catch(error => console.log(error))

```
