Does anyone have an example of how to make a POST, or full REST API in node js for the chirpstak API to create a gateway, or sensor node?
Have you looked at the API section of the docs?
https://www.chirpstack.io/docs/chirpstack/api/index.html
There is an example for the gRPC API using JavaScript, as well as pointers to the REST gateway, which includes full Swagger UI docs.
