As a developer, I want my API calling functions to contain as little boilerplate as possible so I can easily understand them and quickly mock them. I also want the ability to easily add logging of requests or responses.

Currently, we use fetch for our API calls. Axios would cut down on boilerplate:

• config sets some info once and for all
• no need to unpack the json
• no need to check ok
• adding interceptors is easier (can be used for logging)
• adding timeouts is easier
  These and other benefits are discussed here.

I suggest we switch from fetch to axios in the api file. We can move the in-component SWR calls over as we move them to XState.
