How can I get JSON response from Github Api?

Time:11-16

I'm new at coding and I'm stuck. I'm trying to take JSON response from GitHub's REST API. I'm using external script file but it's not working. When I tried to use it in HTML with the script tag it's giving an error. I tried a way that is used for authenticating the token in fetch() it gives an error about that. It's called "header" I don't know about that. I will be happy if you guys help.

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>GitHub API Trial</title>
</head>
<body>
    <script src="github.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Script:

getData();
const api_url = 'https://api.github.com/users/alisirri/repos';
async function getData() {
    const response = await fetch(api_repo_url,
        {
            headers: {
                authorization: "TOKEN"
            }
        }
    )
    console.log(await response.json());
}

I tested your code and looks like the headers are unnecessary

getData();
async function getData() {
  const api_url = "https://api.github.com/users/alisirri/repos";
  const response = await fetch(api_url);
  console.log(await response.json());
}

CodePudding user response:

Replace everything in the js file with this:

const api_repo_url = "https://api.github.com/users/alisirri/repos";
fetch(api_repo_url, {
    headers: {
        authorization: "TOKEN",
    },
})
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => {
        console.log(data);
    });

No need for async either as .then() takes care of that
