axios request returns no data, while http request does

    I have set up an axios request for a module I’M trying to fix (MMM-Fantasy-Premier league)

                                axios.get(url)
                                .then(function(response){
                                        console.log(response);
                                }).catch(function(err){
                                        console.log(self.name + " : getleagueData : " + err);
                                });

    The axios request gives me a this:

    }
  },
  data: ''
}

    So response.data is empty.
    When I call this exact site in my browser I get a valid json esponse.

    What am I doing wrong?
    Does anyone know?

    Hi,

    Sometime something like this with https can help:

    const httpsAgentConfig = { rejectUnauthorized: false }
this.axiosInstance = axios.create({
  httpsAgent: new https.Agent(httpsAgentConfig),
})

    after adapt it with your code
    try it, no guaranties… but maybe …

    No unfortunately not.
    Above addition did not help.

    I’m getting the feeling that the axios requests somehow closes before the data field is being returned. Haven’t tried much since it is not highest priority for me. But would appreciate any idea/suggestion.
