Unexpected Response From API call using axios.get

I am trying to fetch some data using axios.get

The following endpoint takes in a currency and a value and then SHOULD return a single number, by converting the given value into Bitcoin.

`https://blockhain.info/tobtc?currency=${selected}&value=${amount}

I get a 200 response in Postman and in my app, however the following code returns the following:

Why am I getting all this unecessary stuff on a simple GET request when all I need is the number?

Here is the image in postman:

Solution

  • There is a typo on your request URL, it should be https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=${selected}&value=${amount} C is missing in the blockchain.
