Axios response Error: certificate has expired

Question

I'm using axios to send request to diro to create an user with endpoint /user/create .

However, I keep getting an error like this:

Error response: { Error: certificate has expired
    at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1055:34)
    at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:198:13)
    at TLSSocket.EventEmitter.emit (domain.js:448:20)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:633:8)

Here is my request:

const DIRO_API_KEY = ******
createUserToDiro = ({
  phone,
  first_name,
  last_name,
  birth_date,
  mcc_code
}) => {
  const mobile = phone;
  const firstname = first_name;
  const lastname = last_name;
  const dob = formatDiroDob(birth_date);
  const mcc = mcc_code;
  axios.post('https://api.dirolabs.com/user/create'), {
    firstname,
    lastname,
    dob,
    mobile,
    mcc,
    apikey: DIRO_API_KEY
  })
  .then(rs => console.log('Success response:', rs))
  .catch(err => console.log('Error response:',err));

};

What is causing this issue and is there any way to fix it?

Answer 1

Axios library error clearly mentioned that the certificate has expired.

Please ask diro to renew SSL certificate.

Another way we can skip checking for SSL in Axios npm library as follows

const axios = require('axios');
const https = require('https');

// At request level
const agent = new https.Agent({
    rejectUnauthorized: false
});

// Make a request for a user
axios.get('/user/create', { httpsAgent: agent })
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .finally(function () {
    // always executed
  });

This works.

Answer 2

shorter way, using this environment variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
