How to Make an API Request in JavaScript

Making API requests is essential for any web application that communicates with a server. Modern JavaScript provides the fetch API for making HTTP requests. Key concepts: 1. fetch() returns a Promise that resolves to the Response 2. async/await makes asynchronous code read like synchronous code 3. Always handle errors with try/catch 4. Check response.ok to verify the request succeeded 5. Use JSON methods to parse response data The fetch API is built into all modern browsers — no libraries needed.
