NODEJS - AXIOS : Error : The "url" argument must be of type string. Received type object at Url.parse

Question

I am trying to fetch data from a rest API using AXIOS as below:

require('dotenv').config();
const axios = require('axios');

var url = 'https://931eb067-05c0-492a-8129-48ebfc27d426-bluemix.cloudant.com/dummy/_design/NEW_VIEW_DESIGN/_view/new-view?include_docs=true';
axios.get({url,auth: {
    username: process.env.account,
    password: process.env.password 
}}).then((res)=>{console.log(res.data);})
.catch((e)=>{console.log(e)});

I am able to access the metioned URL seperately by providing the credentials but I am getting the below error while using AXIOS

The "url" argument must be of type string. Received type object at Url.parse

What has gone wrong?

Answer 1

axios.get({url,auth: {
    username: process.env.account,
    password: process.env.password
}}).then((res)=>{console.log(res.data);})

Should be

axios.get(url,auth: {
    username: process.env.account,
    password: process.env.password
}).then((res)=>{console.log(res.data);})
