Supplemental curator note

We selected Axios as more than a fetch alternative: it provides a shared HTTP policy layer across browser and Node.js code with interceptors, adapters, timeouts, and cancellation. On Node.js, request configuration itself carries authority, so untrusted config merging, socket paths, proxies, size limits, and credential boundaries need explicit controls.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Install the package

    This is the npm installation path from the official First Steps guide. pnpm, yarn, bun, deno, and CDN options are also documented.

    npm install axios
  2. 2

    Import Axios

    Import the default ES module export. CommonJS can use `const axios = require("axios")`.

    import axios from "axios"
  3. 3

    Make the first GET request

    Call the same JSONPlaceholder endpoint used in the official First Steps guide and inspect response.data. Configure a timeout for production use.

    const response = await axios.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"); console.log(response.data);
