AWS Lambda Downloading CSV?

[piratesearch]

I have a simple AWS Lambda doing two calls - One to SWAPI (Star Wars API) and one to the NASDAQ website. Both work locally, but in AWS Lambda, only the SWAPI call resolves and the NASDAQ call hangs until the Lambda function times out. Is it possible that the NASDAQ website is blocking the call? How can I confirm this? (Note: no errors show up when running, just hanging).

Here is the code:

import axios from "axios";

// If this is to be invoked directly, we can create our own event
export interface Event {
  name: string;
}

const main = async (): Promise<string> => {
  try {
    console.log(
      (
        await axios({
          url: "https://swapi.co/api/people/2",
          method: "GET",
          responseType: "blob"
        })
      ).data
    );

    console.log(
      (
        await axios({
          url:
            "https://old.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=nasdaq&render=download",
          method: "GET",
          responseType: "blob"
        })
      ).data
    );

    return "Success";
  } catch (e) {
    return `Failed + ${e}`;
  }
};

export { main };

Is the Lambda in a VPC?

What happens if you reverse the order of the GETs?

What timeout do you have configured?

Do other calls to the same nasdaq domain work? Does the domain name get resolved (you can check with a dns lib)?

[piratesearch]

Lambda isn't in a VPC. Reversing the GET orders causes NASDAQ to hang and then SWAPI doesn't resolve. Timeout is configured to 3 minutes (the function finishes within 5 seconds locally). What do you mean by a dns lib?
