https://www.omdbapi.com/ check out the page, it provides usage info and even an example to play with.

Hi @mystic parcel ,thanks for the response. I am using the info there "Usage"

fetch(http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=[yourkey]&)

but I am still getting fetch error

I am trying to console.log it first but maybe I am missing something with fetch

Try the example and adjust your fetch url accordingly.

thanks man

I can now fetch data with this

var requestOptions = {
method: 'GET'
};

fetch("https://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=<mykey>", requestOptions)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log('error', error));

thank you!

good but this can be more simplified as you will have to use url paramters as your app will search for the film using a user inputted search term.

yes sir thanks! for now I am trying to make it work and log any content

my next step would be trying the input search term for testing

now I can see the problem earlier
