JavaScript Fetch Code Generator

Generate fetch() or axios code snippets for API requests

JavaScript Fetch Code Generator is a handy tool to quickly create code snippets for making API requests using Fetch API or Axios. Configure URLs, methods, headers, and body effortlessly.

What is JavaScript Fetch Code Generator?

JavaScript Fetch Code Generator is a productivity tool for developers that automates the process of writing boilerplate code for API requests. Instead of manually typing out fetch() or axios syntax every time, you can use this tool to visually configure your request and get a ready-to-use code snippet.

This tool supports both the native Fetch API and the popular Axios library, making it versatile for different project environments.

How to Use

Enter the API URL: Specify the endpoint you want to call.
Select the HTTP Method: Choose from GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and more.
Choose Your Library: Select "Fetch API" for vanilla JavaScript/modern browsers or "Axios" if you are using that library.
Manage Headers: Add custom headers like Authorization or Content-Type by clicking "Add Header".
Add a Request Body: For methods like POST or PUT, you can enter a JSON body in the text area provided.
Copy and Paste: Use the "Copy Snippet" button to copy the generated code directly into your project.

Basic Knowledge: Fetch vs. Axios

Fetch API

Native: Built into modern browsers, no installation required.
Promise-based: Uses the standard Promise API.
Two-step JSON: Requires calling .json() on the response.
No Progress: Doesn't natively support upload progress.

Axios

Third-party: Requires installation (npm install axios).
Automatic JSON: Automatically transforms JSON data.
Better Error Handling: Throws an error for any non-2xx status code.
Wide Support: Works in both browsers and Node.js.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to install anything to use the Fetch snippets?
A: No, Fetch is built into all modern web browsers.

Q: Can I use the Axios snippets without installing Axios?
A: No, you must have the axios library installed in your project to use those snippets.

Q: Does it support async/await?
A: Currently, the tool generates Promise-based (.then/catch) snippets, which are widely compatible. You can easily refactor them to async/await if preferred.

Q: Is it safe to enter my API keys?
A: All processing is done locally in your browser. However, always be cautious about sharing or pasting sensitive production keys into any online tool. Use environment variables in your actual code for security.
