How to make an HTTP request in Javascript?
January 30, 2023 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ JAVASCRIPTYou can make an HTTP request in JavaScript using the ‘XMLHttpRequest’ or ‘fetch’ API:
Using ‘XMLHttpRequest’:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "https://www.example.com", true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE && this.status === 200) {
console.log(this.responseText);
}
};
xhr.send();
Using ‘fetch’ API:
fetch('https://www.example.com')
.then(response => response.text())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
