Error message

npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated

What broke

The warning indicates that the 'request' package version 2.88.2 is deprecated. This means that the package is no longer maintained and may have security vulnerabilities or compatibility issues.

Why it broke

It broke because the maintainers of the 'request' package have decided to stop supporting it, which is common for libraries that have been replaced by better alternatives or have become obsolete.

How to fix

To fix this, you should replace the 'request' package with a maintained alternative such as 'axios' or 'node-fetch'. First, uninstall 'request', then install the new package and update your code to use the new API.

Code fix

npm uninstall request && npm install axios
