let headers = {
        date: 'Fri, 14 Feb 2025 14:40:38 GMT',
        'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        'cache-control': 'private, max-age=60, s-maxage=60',
        vary: 'Accept, Authorization, Cookie, X-GitHub-OTP,Accept-Encoding, Accept, X-Requested-With',
        etag: 'W/"444f830838f7afe42d388ad25ee6b7bd900ea021e8f94efed012f1445e29dc80"',
        'github-authentication-token-expiration': '2025-03-16 17:35:17 +0300',
        'x-github-media-type': 'github.v3; format=json',
        link: '<https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2 >; rel="next", <https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2 >; rel="last"',

        'x-ratelimit-reset': '1739547333',
        'x-ratelimit-used': '5',
        'x-ratelimit-resource': 'core',
        'access-control-expose-headers':
            'ETag, Link, Location, Retry-After, X-GitHub-OTP, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Used, X-RateLimit-Resource, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-OAuth-Scopes, X-Accepted-OAuth-Scopes, X-Poll-Interval, X-GitHub-Media-Type, X-GitHub-SSO, X-GitHub-Request-Id, Deprecation, Sunset',
        'access-control-allow-origin': '*',

        'x-github-request-id': '8408:AF9A4:1713322:17A6E88:67AF55E6',
    };

    console.log(linkParser(headers));

You will get such simple response:

{
    next: 'https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2',
