How to Use Fetch API in Javascript

In this tutorial, we are going to use the Fetch API to fetch all public holidays in the United States.

We’ve have written extensively on the Fetch API here.

So, let’s begin.

  getUsHolidays = async () => {
   const url = "https://date.nager.at/api/v2/publicholidays/2020/US";
    const obj = {
      method: "GET",
      headers: {
        Accept: "application/json",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
    };
    await fetch(`${url}`, obj)
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((responseJson) => {
        console.warn(responseJson);

      })
      .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error.message);
      });
  }

Explanation:

Here, we’re using async/await with GET request method, and the content type is application/json.

We’re getting the response on the console and we’re also catching errors as well because, should the request not go through, we want to know what happened.

Result:
