Short description

Modern Node versions include global `fetch`. Use it to consume third-party APIs, then process JSON for your app or CLI.

Fetch JSON

async function getPosts() {
  const res = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1');
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error('Request failed');
  const data = await res.json();
  console.log(data.title);
}

getPosts().catch(console.error);
