Day 15

Topic: Working with APIs in JavaScript

One Liner Intro: Discover how to integrate external APIs into your JavaScript applications for fetching data and enhancing functionality.

Purpose: APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) empower developers to access external data and services, enabling the creation of dynamic and feature-rich web applications.

Code Sample:

// Example of fetching data from a public API using fetch() method

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')

  .then(response => response.json())

  .then(data => {

    // Process fetched data

    console.log(data);

  })

  .catch(error => {

    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);

  });

        

Personal Thoughts: APIs are the isolating single piece of your functionalities, that serve one purpose and that too at it's best. Good APIs handle issues, and leaves traces for you to easily debug the issue in case of failures, so your debug logs give you easy hints to find issues in live system.
