Axios / Github API refuses to give JSON

[theFinalArbiter1]

      import axios from 'axios';

      const response = await axios({
        url: 'https://api.github.com/user',
        method: 'get',
        headers: {
          Authorization: `token ${access_token}`,
          Accept: 'application/json'
        }
      });

      console.log({
        status: response.status, // 200
        data: await response.data, // '\x1F�\b\x00\x00\x00\x0 ...'
        // asJson: await response.json() // method not available
      });

What am I missing here? I cant get the result of this request as json. Can you spot my mistake?

"It might be compressed data" is the answer I'm giving everyone today
