title: Use Axios in RunJS
---

ToolJet supports libraries such as : **Moment.js**, **Lodash**, and **Axios**. This guide focuses on using the Axios library with RunJS queries. **[Axios](https://axios-http.com/docs/intro)** is a promise-based HTTP client for making requests to your own or external servers. It supports various request types like `GET`, `POST`, `PUT/PATCH`, and `DELETE`.

## GET Requests

We'll use **[JSONPlaceholder](https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/)**, a free API, to demonstrate GET and PUT requests.

- Create a RunJS query and paste the code below:

```javascript
var url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1";

var data = (await axios.get(url)).data;

return data;
```

_This code sets up a URL variable, makes a GET request to the API, and returns the data. Preview the query to see the API's response._

## POST Requests

- Create a RunJS query and paste the code below:

```javascript
var url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users";

var data = axios.post(url, {
  id: 11,
  name: "Shubhendra",
  username: "camelcaseguy",
  email: "shubhendra@tooljet.com",
});

return data;
```

This POST request sends user details to the server. The server's response, as shown below, includes **Status: 201** indicating successful resource creation.
