The Fetch API (With async/await)

What is the Fetch API? The Fetch API is JavaScript's built-in way of making network requests — asking a server for data or sending data to one. Every time you call fetch(), it returns a Promise (remember those?). That Promise eventually resolves with a Response object — which holds whatever the server sent back. fetch() → Promise → Response → Your Data The Basic Structure fetch("https://api.example.com/users") .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => console.log(data)) .catch(error => console.log("Error:", error)); Two .then() calls — here's why: The first .then() gets the raw Response object and converts it to JSON The second .then() gives you the actual data you asked for .catch() handles anything that goes wrong 💡 response.json() also returns a Promise — that's why you need the second .then() async/await — A Cleaner Way to Write Fetch Promises with .then() work perfectly fine, but async/await makes the same code easier to read — especially as your requests get more
