How to use headers with netlify functions

Support

so i am trying to use netlify functions to call an api and i’ve discovered that the request returns as ‘undefined’ when the api needs headers but it is successful when i call api’s that dont require headers. i wanted to know if anyone else has this issue and how to solve it.

const axios = require("axios");

exports.handler = async function (event, context) {
  
    const { id } = event.queryStringParameters;
    const url = `https://youtube-mp36.p.rapidapi.com/dl?id=${id}`
    try {
      const {data} = axios.get(url, {
        headers: {
         "x-rapidapi-host": "youtube-mp36.p.rapidapi.com",
         "x-rapidapi-key": `${process.env.REACT_APP_RAPID_KEY}`
         }
       })
       console.log(data)
      return {
        statusCode: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify(data),
      };
    } catch (err) {
        const {statusCode, statusText, headers, data} = err.response;
      return {
        statusCode: 500,
        body: JSON.stringify({ statusCode, statusText, headers, data }),
      };
    }
  };
