Built-in fetch & Web Streams in Node.js

// Built-in fetch (stable since Node 21) — no node-fetch needed
const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/users')
if (!res.ok) throw new Error('HTTP ' + res.status)
const users = await res.json()

// Streaming a response
const res = await fetch('https://example.com/big.csv')
for await (const chunk of res.body) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}

// Aborting a slow request
const ac = new AbortController()
const timer = setTimeout(() => ac.abort(), 5000)
try {
  const r = await fetch(url, { signal: ac.signal })
} finally {
  clearTimeout(timer)
}
