I put this question up in order for easy access of the solution for fellow developers searching for an answer

//If you have an axios instance declared in a module similar to this, say, api.js

var axios = require('axios');

var axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: '',
    /* other custom settings */
});

module.exports = axiosInstance;

//If you are accessing the module somewhere else, like this

var api = require('./api');

api.get('relative/path')      //For a typical get call using an instance

But, you want to find the baseURL for some business requirement from an axios instance and not necessarily make a call, how do you find it?

https://github./axios/axios#global-axios-defaults

in your case should be : baseURL = api.defaults.baseURL

My Api js file

const instance = axios.create({ baseURL: "http://localhost:3157/api/v1", your base url headers: { "Content-type": "application/json", }, });

export default instance;

import instance from 'api.js';

let baseURL = instance.dafaults.baseURL;

var axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: 'https://example./foo/bar',
    /* other custom settings */
});

//Use this --> "axiosInstance.getUri()"
console.log(axiosInstance.getUri());
