title: Use Axios in RunJS
---
<div style={{paddingBottom:'24px'}}>
ToolJet supports three libraries: **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.
