A brief introduction to Axios in the following five tweets.

Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡πŸ»
Axios is a simple promise-based HTTP client using which you can send HTTP requests.

Let’s look at how you can perform API requests using Axios. πŸ‘‡πŸ»
To use `axios` for requesting APIs, you need to install it first in your project.

Run this command in order to use `axios` in your project.πŸ‘‡πŸ» Image
After installing, import the `axios` library on the top of your JavaScript file.

Let's put the `axios` library in action and fetch the data from the API.

I'm using Text Analysis API (RapidAPI.com/gaurmanojkumar…) from RapidAPI Hub for this thread.
Consider the code snippet below, it's the basic boilerplate of GET request using `axios`.

For GET requests, you will use the `get` method of `axios`

The first parameter is the API endpoint, and the second parameter is an object where you can pass headers and params. Image
Here is the actual GET request using `axios` to fetch random quotes. πŸ‘‡πŸ» Image
With that said, this is pretty much it for a quick introduction to Axios. πŸ˜‰
