Async funtion for axios

Help
1

I need to write a funtion for a get http request which I am using many places. I am trying to create async function with await but still got getting value in return. Can some one guide how to write the code for this.

data = get_price(url)

async function get_price(url) {
  try {
    const resp = await axios({
      method: "GET",
      url: url,
      headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
          "Authorization": authorization
      }    
    }).then(function(resp){
      console.log(resp.data)
      return resp.data
    });
  } catch(e) {
    return "error";
  }
}

Hi there – it looks like there’s a bit of mixup with promisifying your code. Below is a modification that should work for you, and in case you’re interested, I’d check this out for more info: Making asynchronous programming easier with async and await - Learn web development | MDN

async function get_price(url) {
  try {
    return await axios({
      method: "GET",
      url: url,
      headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
          "Authorization": authorization
      }
    })
  } catch(e) {
    return "error";
  }
}

Thanks Danny… Also when I added await with the function from where I am calling it, it worked
data = await get_price(url)
