Fetching Remote Data within your Node Application

Request a remote server.

In This Article, We are going to use the node-fetch.
It is one of the popular and widely used modules.
node-fetch brings us the browser’s fetch to Node.

Lets Intstal with npm

	npm i node-fetch

After Installing Now, Can use it as simply as below.

	const fetch = require('node-fetch');

fetch('https://example.com').then( res => res.text()).then(body => // Do Domehing With it)

It provides an API that the browser’s window.fetch, allowing our Node program to access remote resources.
Like window.fetch, it offers support for the HTTP methods of GET, POST, DELETE, and PUT.

	fetch('https://example.com')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json));

We Can use the async/await syntax, including a try/catch block for error handling

	(async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://example.com/some');
    const json = await response.json();
    console.log(json);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
})();

node-fetch can also handle POST, DELETE, and PUT methods, allowing you to send data to a server.

	const data = {
  name: "Adam",
  job: "Web Developer"
};

Now We make a POST request

	fetch('https://example.com', {
    method: 'post',
    body:    JSON.stringify(data),
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  })
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json));
