How do I use Axios in Node.js?

You can use Axios in Node.js by first installing it via npm. Run npm install axios in your project directory.

Can you show me a simple example of making a GET request?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  });

What if I want to send data with a POST request?

You can use axios.post to send data. Here's an example:

axios.post('https://api.example.com/data', { key: 'value' })
  .then(response => {
    console.log('Data sent successfully:', response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error sending data:', error);
  });

Are there any other features of Axios I should know about?

Yes! Axios supports interceptors, request cancellation, and automatic JSON data transformation, among other features.
