TypeError [ERR_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS]: Request path contains unescaped characters

[DevYukine]

Using this piece of code

const Kitsu = require('kitsu');
const kitsu = new Kitsu();
const { data } = await kitsu.fetch('anime', { filter: { name: "Attack On Titan"} });

(used inside an async function) throws following error

and im pretty sure that this piece of code is correct 🤔 would appreciate some information how i would go about fixing this issue

Thanks for making me aware of this! Seems axios itself doesn't handle character escaping - it passes it to XHR in browser that does do this automatically, but http in node expects you to do it yourself.

Fixed this in e4210fc and released in 5.0.6 👍
