replace deprecated 'request' module with 'axios' #16

request has been in maintenance mode since 2019, (https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142) and is long overdue for replacement here.

axios is a widely used and actively maintained HTTP client. It's install footprint is significantly smaller than request, and it meets the basic needs of this backend, making it a straightforward choice for a replacement.
