javascript - NodeJS http.request not returning data even after specifying return on the 'end' event

Basically I am trying to scrap some data from website and perform the DOM extraction, deletion and updation on a callback function binded to the 'end' event of http.request.

I have returned the data from the 'end' event callback too but it is not receiving in my route callback function. I get undefined there.

Below is the code block:

var scraper = {
    extractEmail: function (directoryName) {
        var result = getDirectory(directoryName);
        if (result !== 404) {
            var protocol = result.https ? https : http;
            protocol.request({
                host: 'somevalue.net',
                method: "GET"
            }, function (res) {
                var data = '';

                res.on('data', function (chunk) {
                    data += chunk;
                });

                res.on('end', function () {
                    return data;
                });
            })
                .on('error', function (err) {
                    return err;

                })
                .end();
            //return data;
        }
        else {
            //return "Failed";
        }
    }
};

And here is the Routes.js function:

app.get('/:directory', function (req, res) {
    var n = scraper.extractEmail(req.params.directory);
    console.log(n);
    res.send(n);
});

In here also I don't get the value of n.
