Axios post not being called on AWS lambda function

Question

Im having a bit of trouble here with a Lambda function.

I am trying to make an API call through Axios through a lambda function. I have tested the call in Postman and I am sure that it is working.

It looks like from the cloudwatch logs that i just does not call the function at all. I am thinking that there is something wrong with my setup on AWS but I can't think what it could be.

import:

import axios from 'axios';

Function called:

 public static async refreshToken(refreshToken: string): Promise<IToken> {
        
         let headers = {
                      "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                      "Authorization": `Basic BASE_64_ENCODED_CODE`
                    };
        
        let url = "https://api.fitbit.com/oauth2/token?grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN"
        
         let response = await axios.post(url, null, {
                      headers
                    });
        
         return {
                    accessToken: response.data.access_token,
                    expiry: Date.now() + response.data.expires_in,
                    refreshToken: response.data.refresh_token,
                };
        
    }

@choz thank you for your response! When you say entry point handler do you mean the URL? if so, I am sure its correct. I am also able to console.log out different messages to ensure the function is firing correctly before it hits the post. any suggestions? — mick1996, Mar 11 '21 at 14:04
@choz I have also tried running requests to open API's and I cannot get the axios request to fire. Please help — mick1996, Mar 11 '21 at 14:05
I think you might want to set loggers on each line there as this is more like a debugging question. But, I have a suspect there that `response` might be a string instead of a JSON. Therefore the code exited in your return function. — choz, Mar 12 '21 at 02:48
Right, I'll try that now thank you for the response again! Ill get back to you with what happens — mick1996, Mar 12 '21 at 09:17
@choz I have tried numerous different ways now with open apis with simple GET requests and it still wont work. I looks like the AXIOS function just never is triggered :( Is there any chance do you think it is to do with the Lambda not being able to access the internet? — mick1996, Mar 12 '21 at 12:19
It's possible, can you check if [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/55267891/1627271) helps? — choz, Mar 12 '21 at 13:50
