Fetch API

Relax. We'll talk through this in plain words — no textbook voice.

Fetch API is a modern, promise-based interface for making network requests. It's commonly used to get data (e.g., JSON) from a server.

javascript

// Fetching data from a public API
async function getData() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
    const data = await response.json();
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Could not fetch data:", error);
  }
}

getData();

You should see

{ "userId": 1, "id": 1, "title": "delectus aut autem", "completed": false }
