javascript-d3How can I use the function d3.json to retrieve data from an API?


d3.json is a function provided by the D3.js library that can be used to retrieve data from an API. It takes an API URL as a parameter and returns a promise that resolves to the requested data.

Example

d3.json("https://api.example.com/data")
  .then(data => console.log(data))

Output example

{
  "name": "Example Data",
  "values": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}

The code above will make a request to the API URL provided and log the returned data (in this case a JSON object) to the console.

The code consists of two parts:

  1. d3.json("https://api.example.com/data") - This part makes the request to the API URL and returns a promise.

  2. .then(data => console.log(data)) - This part handles the data returned by the API request and logs it to the console.
