How to send a POST via axios to telegra.ph API?

I send a post to the telegraph API using axios. post () in nodejs. in response, I get that the token is invalid. although, if you send with the help of axios. get() , everything works out. I need post because get does not accept long texts since the data is passed in the url parameters

Perhaps I am passing the wrong object or something is not there where you need to zastringifail.

Here is the code:

const requestTelegraphPOST = async (url, data) => {
    try {
        return await axios.post(url, data)
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error)
    }
}

    requestTelegraphPOST('https://api.telegra.ph/createPage', {
        access_token: ACCESS_TOKEN,
        title,
        content
    }).then(data => {
        if (data.data.result) {
            const telegraphPostUrl = data.data.result.url
            sendPost(telegraphPostUrl)
        } else {
            console.log(chalk.yellow('Не удалось создать пост. Ответ от Telegraph API:'))
            console.log(data.data)
        }
    }).catch(err => console.error(err))

Most likely, the empty request body goes away.

To send data via post to axios, you need a couple more points. You can try adding headers, in your case it will be:

const requestTelegraphPOST = async (url, data) => {
    try {
        return await axios.post(url, data, {
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
            }
        })
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error)
    }
}

Or there is an option to still collect data through FormData and already give it to post:

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('access_token', ACCESS_TOKEN);
...

I prefer the second option.
