fetching data locally

Hello Community!

I have deployed my app in Vercel and I am struggling to fetch my data from MongoDB (which is working locally).
I really think it's something simple but after reading the docs and checking some examples I can't tell what's the issue.

The following code contains the problematic data fetch (I assume that fixing this will resolve the other case where data fetching doesn't work):
// On mount fetch the list of all Todos from the Mongo database useEffect(() => { const controller = new AbortController(); const signal = controller.signal; async function getTodos() { const options = { method: "GET", url: "/api/todos", signal, }; try { const response = await axios.request(options); if (response.statusText !== "OK") { throw new Error("Failed to fetch Todos"); } const todos = response.data.todos; // Set the state so the list can be displayed to the user setTodosArray([...todos]); } catch (error) { console.log(error); } } getTodos(); return () => { // Cleanup function controller.abort(); }; }, []);

In Vercel it throws the "Failed to fetch Todos" error that is thrown if the response status is not OK. I also see that the Integration is properly set in Vercel and the MONGODB_URI env variable was automatically added when the setup was complete.
Thank you for the assistance in advance!

maybe try this instead
   if (response.status !== 200) {
    throw new Error("Failed to fetch Todos");
  }

hi, can you try to go to https://your-url/api/todos on your browser and see what the result you get?

Yes, it gives me the proper data

is this from the app on vercel or locally?

It's from the app on Vercel when I used https://<my-vercel-url>/api/todos.

then it should work
could you share the url?
It even works when I run it in the console...

statusText is blank or unsupported with http/2
the reason why it works on localhost is when you are fetching locally, it use http/1.1

Wow, can't believe it was this. It now works! Also it rendered an empty list even though I have data in the collection but it turns out that during deployment a new collection is added.
Thank you very much for the help Ray!
