API Call Playground

Now that I've gotten a firm grasp of HTML and CSS, my current obsession is learning javascript. One of the most common things websites do is ask other websites for data. Sending the request and receiving the response is not as easy as running a simple command like fetch() and then displaying the data as an item on the page. Below are a few API calls I've coded. There are only GET requests right now. More types of calls and a detailed guide to come.
