Get request to twitch with axios

API
1

hello everyone! I want to make a get request on twitch. But I have an error. I write in node js and use axios to make a request.

My code:

import axios from "axios";

axios.post('https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token', {
    client_id: 'iaxcs84csy2v5mvzueo69y',
    client_secret: '6uj5ltv3l7uljc5k',
    grant_type: 'client_credentials'
})
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
})

axios.get('https://api.twitch.tv/helix/search/channels?query=loserfruit', {
    headers: {
      'Client-Id': 'iwnng4cs84csy2v5ueo69y',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer 1n44alq5a9n4e9oz8j4'
}})
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
})

Error:

node:internal/process/promises:279
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^

[UnhandledPromiseRejection: This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason "AxiosError: Request failed with status code 401".] {
  code: 'ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION'
}

You don’t have a .catch to catch with your .thens to catch any errors

what am I supposed to do? I just don’t know

import axios from "axios";

axios.post('https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token', {
    client_id: 'iaxcs84csy2v5mvzueo69y',
    client_secret: '6uj5ltv3l7uljc5k',
    grant_type: 'client_credentials'
})
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
})
.catch((e) {
    console.log(e);
});

axios.get('https://api.twitch.tv/helix/search/channels?query=loserfruit', {
    headers: {
      'Client-Id': 'iwnng4cs84csy2v5ueo69y',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer 1n44alq5a9n4e9oz8j4'
}})
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
})
.catch((e) {
    console.log(e);
});

Is a basic addition to catch and log the error.
