GET Requests

Fetching data from APIs and handling responses

javascript
// Simple GET
const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
const data = await response.json()

// GET with query parameters
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  page: 1,
  limit: 10,
  sort: 'date'
})
const response = await fetch(\`https://api.example.com/data?\${params}\`)

// GET with headers
const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer token123'
  }
})
🟢 GET is the default method - no need to specify
💡 Use URLSearchParams for clean query string building
⚡ Set Accept header to specify expected response type
📌 Cache-Control headers can prevent stale data
