fetch()

Starts an HTTP request and resolves with a Response. It rejects only on network failure, not on 404 or 500.

Syntax

await fetch(url)

Example

Try it

fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1")
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data.title))
  .catch(error => console.log(error.message));

Notes

Check response.ok yourself. A 500 response still fulfils the fetch promise.
