node.js axios download file stream and writeFile

Question

i want download a pdf file with axios and save on disk (server side) with fs.writeFile, i have tried:

axios.get(\'https://xxx/my.pd         


        

Answer 1

This is my example code run with node js There is a synctax error

should be writeFile not WriteFile

const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');
axios.get('http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf', {responseType: 'blob'}).then(response => {
  fs.writeFile('./my.pdf', response.data, (err) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log('The file has been saved!');
    });
});

After the file is saved it might look like in a text editor, but the file was saved properly
