Accessing data from an API is one of the most common things you will do in web development, and the way to access APIs is with fetch. Fetch is function built into JavaScript that allows you to query any URL/API to get back data. The most important part is that fetch is asynchronous so it will run in the background and let you know when it finishes using promises. In this video I will show you exactly how to use fetch, and all of the common mistakes people make using fetch so you can get up and running in just six minutes.
