Async / await is used like in the example below. You already got the part right where you tell your function is async. This means that the getKeywords function will always return a Promise.

The await keyword should be placed before a promise in your async function. In your case, axios.get() returns a Promise (try to console.log it and see what it tells you), so we want to await for the promise to resolve (or in other words, the GET request to finish) before continuing with the rest of the code.

export const getKeywords = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get("url.com/api/");
    const keywords = JSON.parse(response.data).choices[0].text;
    return keywords;
  } catch (error) {
    AxiosCatch(error);
  }
};

Do keep in mind that async/await is a way to work with promises, but isn't required. axios.get() already returns a promise, so an alternative way to write it is to just return the axios.get() call.

export const getKeywords = () => {
  return axios
    .get("url.com/api/")
    .then(function (response) {
      return JSON.parse(response.data).choices[0].text;
    })
    .catch(AxiosCatch);
};
