How to call only a certain number of arrays in an external api with express.js

I am currently learning about external API's using axios, express, and node. This is the code I am using to call the API:

app.get("/externalapi", (req, res) => {
 ;

  let apiURL = 'https://makeup-api.herokuapp.com/api/v1/products.json';
    axios.get(apiURL)
        .then(response => {
            
            res.status(200).json(response.data);
        })
        .catch((err) => {
            res.status(500).json({ message: err });
        });
});

This code would successfully return ALL the data in that API when I use a GET request from Postman. However, I would only like to call the first 10 arrays of that API. an example data of the API is:

 [
  {
            "id": 495,
            "brand": "maybelline",
            "name": "Maybelline Face Studio Master Hi-Light Light Booster Bronzer",
            "price": "14.99",
            "price_sign": null,
            "currency": null,
            "image_link": "https://d3t32hsnjxo7q6.cloudfront.net/i/991799d3e70b8856686979f8ff6dcfe0_ra,w158,h184_pa,w158,h184.png",
            "product_link": "https://well.ca/products/maybelline-face-studio-master_88837.html",
            "website_link": "https://well.ca",
            "description": "Maybelline Face Studio Master Hi-Light Light Boosting bronzer formula has an expert \nbalance of shade + shimmer illuminator for natural glow. Skin goes \nsoft-lit with zero glitz.\n\n\t\tFor Best Results: Brush over all shades in palette and gently sweep over \ncheekbones, brow bones, and temples, or anywhere light naturally touches\n the face.\n\n\t\t\n\t\n\n                    ",
            "rating": 5,
            "category": null,
            "product_type": "bronzer",
            "tag_list": [],
            "created_at": "2016-10-01T18:36:15.012Z",
            "updated_at": "2017-12-23T21:08:50.624Z",
            "product_api_url": "https://makeup-api.herokuapp.com/api/v1/products/495.json",
            "api_featured_image": "//s3.amazonaws.com/donovanbailey/products/api_featured_images/000/000/495/original/open-uri20171223-4-9hrto4?1514063330",
            "product_colors": []
        }

I know you have to use a for loop to call only a certain number of arrays. However, I have almost no idea how to go about that and I would love to learn how to do it. May I please ask of some assistance. I know it's a simple question but I am a beginner trying to learn how to call and manipulate data from external API's

The .slice() method should help

res.status(200).json(responde.data.slice(0, 10));
