can someone PLEASE give me some vanilla javascript code that will make a get request to https://api.wasteof.money/posts/64fa845c62c9b104f65962d4/ and display it as an <p> element on screen?
comments
fetch("https://api.wasteof.money/posts/64fa845c62c9b104f65962d4/").then(r => r.json()).then(j => document.querySelector("#the_element").innerHTML = j.content).catch(e => document.querySelector("#the_element").innerHTML = `<p>error: ${e}</p>`)hey im dumb how do i make #the_element? do i add “class=’#the_element’”?
no, # is for id (i.e., id="the_element). classes begin with . as opposed to #
can you change the catch part to
.catch(e => {
console.dir(e);
document.querySelector("#the_element").innerHTML = `<p>error: ${e}</p>`;
});and then tell me what’s in the console?
currently not on my computer, but essentially you have to use fetch to get the content of https://api.wasteof.money/posts/64fa845c62c9b104f65962d4/, and then set the .innerHTML of an element to the post.content
here’s an example of it: https://git.tnix.dev/Tnix/random/src/branch/main/wasteof/example-64fa922ea5efdaee65509cce.html
btw the API has CORS, so requests to the API from another website will fail, you’d have to use something like a browser extension to bypass CORS policies, but I don’t recommend that for security reasons.
adding on to what tnix’s response was, you could replace the url in the JS with a corsproxy version of it with no need for an extension.
oh, thanks. If you have time later, can you provide a code snippet for making the fetch request? I can do the inter html part
I would but I don't have my computer on this trip. @jeffalo can you help them, you definitely know how to do it
