Content-Type not working at GET requests

I’m trying to make a GET request with a ‘Content-Type’ like ‘application/vnd.api+json’ and its not working, the content-type is not being changed. 😢

const api = create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.api+json',
    'Accept': 'v1'
  }
})

api
  .get('users/token_exists', { confirmation_token: token })
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.status)
  })

@fabiodiniz This isn’t actually a bug in either of the libraries though. The Content-Type header refers to the type of data you are sending to the server and as such there is no reason to send it if there’s no body to the request. My guess is that you would want to use the Accept header which specifies how you want your response formatted.

This is what I think you’re actually looking for:

const api = create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/vnd.api+json'
  }
})

api
  .get('users/token_exists', { confirmation_token: token })
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.status)
  })

You need to pass an empty data object, so the Content-Type will be sent . Idk why, but Axios don’t send custom headers in GET requests when there is no data object.

Your code would look like this:

api.get('', null, {
  data: {},
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
  }
})
