Simple method to fetch data from API using JavaScript

navya, Credit to volkotech-solutions Dec 09

We can get data from API by accessing it in JSON format and then extracting the values from the JSON object. Generate random quotes with related API with this snippet.

Index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Generate random quote with in required time duration</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <q id="quote"></q>
    <script src="./script.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

script.js

//getting random quote api
const url = "https://api.quotable.io/random";  
function generateQuote() {
//fetching the data in url
  fetch(url)					
    .then(function (data) {
    //getting the data in json format
      return data.json();				
    })
    .then(function (data) {
    // printing the out put 
      document.getElementById("quote").innerHTML = data.content; 
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
      console.log(err);
    });
}
//function call
generateQuote();
