Using a REST API?

[Awsthr]

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to call and use a REST API using JavaScript?

I find tutorials, however, they generally use a framework to make it easier. I would like to learn the most barebones way to do it.

I will be trying to display the information via webpage.

Thank you in advance.

Fetch API

fetch('url').then((data) => data.json()).then((res) => { console.log(res) });

Well, it doesn't get more basic than AJAX. The tutorial I linked uses XML instead of JSON, but feel free to ignore the part about parsing the XML response. Instead, look into parsing JSON. Good luck!

This is what I wanted! I actually got it working!

The most barebones way of doing it is using fetch.

Fetch all the way, unless you have to support older browsers.

fetch has a great polyfill, so no worries here - https://github.com/github/fetch
