Hello,
I am trying to call API in Netlify function and pass data to the client. I tried fetch and axios but still have problems with getting the function to work.
To make my problem more simple I switched to API with no key and made sure that it works when called on client side.

I would be super grateful if someone help me
Hey @PabloBerry44 — have you installed node-fetch and does it appear in your package.json file?
The error on the screenshot is reporting that you don’t have node-fetch installed.

Thank you @whitep4nth3r for your answer. I didn’t install node-fetch at this point and did it later. I ran into other errors and tried axios one more time and it actually worked for me.
Here is a screenshot of working Netlify function that calls API.
Please let me now if this way of calling API is not deprecated and up to todays standards.
Thank You
Yep, using axios is perfectly valid!
I can take a guess at the errors you came across when using node-fetch. For anyone else that finds this blog post via a Google search or whatever, this blog post will help diagnose some issues!
