Axios error while calling an API from web service deployed on render

1

My express web server deployed on render throws an error on making a call to nominatim reverse api, which worked fine on local.

const response = await axios.get(
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&lat=${lat}&lon=${lon}
)

This is the error:

Hi there,

I’d suggest checking out this article for more information on ETIMEDOUT errors in Node
https://medium.com/@mr.pinai/understanding-http-keepalive-and-etimedout-errors-in-node-js-b987d075644f

Give that a try and let me know if it helps.

Regards,

Matt

Thanks for the reply, tried configuring keepAlive, and timeouts, but to no avail.
Now I am considering moving the API call to frontend itself.

const axiosConfig = {
httpAgent: new http.Agent({
keepAlive: true,
timeout: 5000,
}),
httpsAgent: new https.Agent({
keepAlive: true,
timeout: 5000,
}),
timeout: 5000,
}

This is the config I tried. Moving the call to frontend has served my purpose for now. :+1:
