Perform curl request in javascript?

curl is a command in linux (and a library in php). Curl typically makes an HTTP request.

What you really want to do is make an HTTP (or XHR) request from javascript.

Using this vocab you’ll find a bunch of examples, for starters:
Sending authorization headers with jquery and ajax

Essentially you will want to call $.ajax with a few options for the header, etc.

$.ajax({
        url: 'https://api.wit.ai/message?v=20140826&q=',
        beforeSend: function(xhr) {
             xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer 6QXNMEMFHNY4FJ5ELNFMP5KRW52WFXN5")
        }, success: function(data){
            alert(data);
            //process the JSON data etc
        }
})
