Checklist

• I have read the documentation.
• I have tried my code with the latest version of Node.js and Got.

[khizarsonu]

as i see GOT works fine in node 12+ , in case got does not support older version on nodejs, then please highlight and mention it in the documentation.
this will save a lot of time of developer facing similar issue

[sindresorhus]

Got already indicates the required Node.js version in package.json

I ran the following command on 2 versions.

npm install -g bootprint
npm install -g bootprint-openapi
bootprint openapi http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json target
bootprint openapi http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json openapi

With node version v8.9.1, this is not working. With the node version v10.16.3 the above codes are working.
