CS 347: Lecture 14 – Fetch

October 8, 2020 by Chris Johnson. Filed under fall-2020, lectures, webdev.

Dear students:

Last time we examined objects and how to pass them around using JSON. This time, we apply these ideas by consuming a web service: News API. We’ll use JavaScript’s builtin fetch function to grab and send JSON data.

Here’s your TODO list:

• Watch News API sources, in which we use the fetch function to talk to the News API and retrieve a list of news sources.
• Watch News API headlines, in which we retrieve headlines for a chosen news source.
• Read The Modern JavaScript Tutorial’s introduction to promises.
• There will be no peer review on Thursday.

See you next time.

Sincerely,
