Fetch JSON
Send a GET request and read in JSON from the response. Use to fetch external data.
/** * Example someHost is set up to take in a JSON request * Replace url with the host you wish to send requests to * @param {string} someHost the host to send the request to * @param {string} url the URL to send the request to */
const someHost = 'https://examples.cloudflareworkers.com/demos';
const url = someHost + '/static/json';
/** * gatherResponse awaits and returns a response body as a string. * Use await gatherResponse(..) in an async function to get the response body * @param {Response} response */
async function gatherResponse(response) { const { headers } = response; const contentType = headers.get('content-type') || ''; if (contentType.includes('application/json')) { return JSON.stringify(await response.json()); } return response.text();
}
async function handleRequest() { const init = { headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8', }, }; const response = await fetch(url, init); const results = await gatherResponse(response); return new Response(results, init);
}
addEventListener('fetch', event => { return event.respondWith(handleRequest());
