Node fetchi request using axios returns gibberish data as response-CodePudding

I am a beginner in node and I am trying to consume an API,but response returns gibberish data.I have tested the API routes and I am sure the problem is my request but I clearly cannot tell where.I think I am making an obvious mistake but it is hard to tell. Here is the function to generate the token

const generateToken = async (req, res, next) => {
  const secret = proces.env.MPESA_CONSUMER_SECRET;
  const consumer = process.env.MPESA_CONSUMER_KEY;

  const auth = new Buffer.from(`${consumer}:${secret}`).toString("base64");
  await axios
    .get(
      "https://sandbox.safaricom.co.ke/oauth/v1/generate?grant_type=client_credentials",
      {
        headers: {
          authorization: `Basic ${auth}`,
        },
      }
    )
    .then((response) => {
      console.log(response);
      // token = response.data.access_token;
      next();
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.log(err);
      //res.status(400).json(err.message)
    });
};
app.get("/token", (req, res) => {
  generateToken();
});

the response I get after console.log is this

data: '\x1F�\b\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00���R@\x02J��ɩ���%�٩yJV\n'  
    'J��.�EU�\x1E��Y�N)%IQ\x01\x05\x16���&N�f\x01J:�zS \n'  
    '2�R��3�:�M--��\n'  
    'j�,\x00�H��q\x00\x00\x00'
}

Anyhelp to even help me understand where the problem could be will be highly apprecited.

In v1.2.1 fixed this error.

Try it after install axios(v1.2.1) again

Downgrading to Axios version 1.1.3 worked for me
