axios get request documentation code example

Example 1: axios get

const axios = require('axios');

// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios.get('/user?ID=12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });

// Optionally the request above could also be done as
axios.get('/user', {
    params: {
      ID: 12345
    }
  })
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });  

// Want to use async/await? Add the `async` keyword to your outer function/method.
async function getUser() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345');
    console.log(response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Example 2: axios response.json

const axios = require('axios');

const res = await axios.get('https://httpbin.org/get', { params: { answer: 42 } });

res.constructor.name; // 'Object', means `res` is a POJO

// `res.data` contains the parsed response body
res.data; // { args: { answer: 42 }, ... }
res.data instanceof Object; // true
