web scraping SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Question

I am trying to complete some web scraping projects and I keep running into the same error which is as follows:

import axios from 'axios'
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

The Javascript code is below:

import axios from "axios";
import Cheerio from "cheerio";
import Express from "express";

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;

const app = express();

axios("https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/")
  .then((res) => {
    const htmlData = res.data;
    const $ = cheerio.load(htmlData);
    const articles = [];

    $(".teaser", htmlData).each((index, element) => {
      const title = $(element).children("headline").text();
      const titleURL = $(element).children("headline").attr("href");
      articles.push({
        title,
        titleURL,
      });
    });
    console.log(articles);
  })
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

app.listen(PORT, () => console.log("server is listening on port ${PORT}"));

Then there is the package.json here:

{
  "name": "scrapy",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
   "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js",
    "dev": "nodemon index.js"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^1.1.3",
    "cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.12",
    "express": "^4.18.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nodemon": "^2.0.20"
  }
}

can anyone explain why I keep getting this same error and how to fix it?

I tried adding "Type": "Module", to the package.json file in multiple projects but that did not solve the issue, this was highly suggested online but did not work for me.
