I'm using axios to download image in nodejs. I've added the following the code
const axios = require("axios").default;
const fs = require("fs");
const url =
"https://images.pexels.com/photos/11431628/pexels-photo-11431628.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260";
async function downloadImage() {
try {
const { data } = await axios.get(url);
data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream("sample.jpg"));
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
downloadImage();
But I get the following error
TypeError: data.pipe is not a function
.pipe() can only be used on streams. To get axios response in streams, add a config object with responseType:'stream'
const { data } = await axios.get(url, { responseType: "stream" });
data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream("sample.jpg"));
