Domain with host:port not working with node-fetch

Question

const response = await fetch(API_URL, {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify(body),
    headers: headers
})

Here API_URL = https://139.59.39.54:53724/business/1.0/verify

Getting error

TypeError: Only absolute URLs are supported

I though maybe the problem with package it doesn't support domain with IP addresses, so I also tried nip.io .

But still getting same error.

Update

I am using dotenv for environment variables. So If directly use the domain I don't get error any more.

const response = await fetch("https://139.59.39.54:53724/business/1.0/verify", {
     method: 'POST',
     body: JSON.stringify(body),
     headers: headers
})

reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 139.59.39.56:53724 , as well postman connections failed , please check API url — Adeel Nawaz, Mar 19 '20 at 07:53

I think you're missing reading environment variables with dotenv, such as call require('dotenv').config();.

Because dotenv can understand API_URL = https://139.59.39.54:53724/business/1.0/verify that API_URL is a string. Therefore API_URL you read from process.env.API_URL now is empty, which can cause the error.

Please make sure you've called require('dotenv').config(); before reading process.env.API_URL.

No that's not the problem, I if log that variable inside the function I am getting the same url. – sujeet Mar 19 '20 at 09:31
