Creating an instance

To create a new instance, you can use the create method. Once the instance is created, you can use it to make HTTP requests. You can also use all the method aliases on the instance.

import axios from "axios";

const instance = axios.create({
  baseURL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts",
  timeout: 1000,
  headers: { "X-Custom-Header": "foobar" },
});

The create method takes a configuration object as an argument and returns a new instance of Axios. The configuration object is detailed in the Request Config section.

TIP

Note: Your instance will carry with it the default configuration that you provided when creating it.
