Call an API in Javascript 📞💻 #coding #programming #webdevelopment #frontendinterview #fetch #code

In this short, I break down one of the simplest and most effective ways to fetch data from an external API using JavaScript.
Let me show you how with the fetch() method! In this short, I break down how fetch() works under the hood.

fetch() is a built-in browser function that lets you make HTTP requests. When you call fetch(), you're sending a network request to get a resource—in this case, a post with ID 1 from the JSONPlaceholder API.

But here’s the important part: fetch() returns a Promise. That means it doesn’t give you the data right away. Instead, you use .then() to tell JavaScript what to do when the request is successful.

The first .then() is where we convert the raw response (a Response object) into usable JSON. Why? Because APIs often send back data in JSON format, and .json() itself returns another Promise that resolves to the actual data.

The second .then() is where we finally get access to the post and can use it—in this case, logging the title to the console.

This is the cleanest and most beginner-friendly way to make a GET request in JS—and once you understand this, you’re well on your way to building real-world, data-driven apps.
