Introduction
We are going to take a deeper look at the HTTP GET request method.
The HTTP GET request method will get data from a specified location.
Example
Let’s have a look at how we can do a GET request.
The GET request mode is the default mode when doing a fetch.
Below is an example of doing a GET request using fetch.
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1')
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((json) => console.log(json));
// Logs:
// {
// "userId": 1,
// "id": 1,
// "title": "delectus aut autem",
// "completed": false
// }Request options
We can modify the options we are using when doing a fetch request. However, this isn’t usually necessary when doing a GET request as that is the default mode.
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1', {
method: 'GET',
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((json) => console.log(json));
