(Node JS) SyntaxError: Unexpected token function for async function

So I am trying to use async / await, but I am getting this error:

async function something(options) {
  ^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token function

      

Here's the code:

var request = require('superagent');

async function something(options) {
    let response = await request.get("apiurlblabla");
    if(response) {
      .query(({'queryqeureur}))
      .query(({'uqeryqery'}))
      var jsonString = JSON.parse(res.text)
      console.log(jsonString.propertyblabla);
      console.log(jsonString.propertyblabla)
    }
}

The async feature is officially supported in nodejs 8 and later. you must update your nodejs version to 8 or newer.
