I'm a beginner to coding and I'm creating a site on educating teens on cryptocurrency where I would like to have a page consisting of live data of different currencies using only javascript and html(css if needed to). Seen a lot on fetch api, etc, but really not sure on how to do it.

CodePudding user response：

You want to look for Jquery library for JS, HTML and CSS will not be enough to do api calls, JS will do that for you,

Having timer set to x amount to call the api and feed the html with data.

CodePudding user response：

In JavaScript, to fetch data from a website, you can use the Fetch API.

This is an example that fetches data from this GitHub page.

fetch('https://api.github.com/zen')
.then(resp => resp.text())
.then(text => console.log(text));

If the response is in JSON, you can use resp.json() instead of resp.text() to parse it into a JavaScript object.
