Lab 8: Network Requests!

Project 1 due this Thursday!!!

---

What is a network request?

---

Making requests in JS

fetch("https://www.facebook.com") // returns a Promise
await fetch("https://www.facebook.com") // returns a Response object 

# Getting the text out of a response
let res = await fetch("https://www.reactdecal.org")
let responseText = await res.text();

---

Why is this useful?

• We write webpages to help us display data!
• Network requests help us ask servers for this data
• Tons of public, free data sources (APIs) exist on the web
