<p>React Native provides the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API">Fetch API</a> for your networking needs. Fetch will seem familiar if you have used <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> or other networking APIs before. You may refer to MDN's guide on <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch">Using Fetch</a> for additional information.</p>

<p>In order to fetch content from an arbitrary URL, just pass the URL to fetch:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css languages- javascript">fetch(<span class="hljs-string">'https://mywebsite.com/mydata.json'</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>Fetch also takes an optional second argument that allows you to customize the HTTP request. You may want to specify additional headers, or make a POST request:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css languages- javascript">fetch(<span class="hljs-string">'https://mywebsite.com/endpoint/'</span>, {
<span class="hljs-attr">method</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'POST'</span>,
<span class="hljs-attr">headers</span>: {
<span class="hljs-attr">Accept</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'application/json'</span>,
<span class="hljs-string">'Content-Type'</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'application/json'</span>,
},
<span class="hljs-attr">body</span>: <span class="hljs-built_in">JSON</span>.stringify({
<span class="hljs-attr">firstParam</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'yourValue'</span>,
<span class="hljs-attr">secondParam</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'yourOtherValue'</span>,
}),
});
</code></pre>
<p>Take a look at the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request">Fetch Request docs</a> for a full list of properties.</p>

<p>The above examples show how you can make a request. In many cases, you will want to do something with the response.</p>
<p>Networking is an inherently asynchronous operation. Fetch methods will return a <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise">Promise</a> that makes it straightforward to write code that works in an asynchronous manner:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css languages- javascript"><span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">function</span> <span class="hljs-title">getMoviesFromApiAsync</span>(<span class="hljs-params"></span>) </span>{
<span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> fetch(<span class="hljs-string">'https://facebook.github.io/react-native/movies.json'</span>)
.then(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">response</span>) =&gt;</span> response.json())
.then(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">responseJson</span>) =&gt;</span> {
<span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> responseJson.movies;
})
.catch(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">error</span>) =&gt;</span> {
<span class="hljs-built_in">console</span>.error(error);
});
}
</code></pre>
<p>You can also use the proposed ES2017 <code>async</code>/<code>await</code> syntax in a React Native app:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css languages- javascript"><span class="hljs-keyword">async</span> <span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">function</span> <span class="hljs-title">getMoviesFromApi</span>(<span class="hljs-params"></span>) </span>{
<span class="hljs-keyword">try</span> {
<span class="hljs-keyword">let</span> response = <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> fetch(
<span class="hljs-string">'https://facebook.github.io/react-native/movies.json'</span>
);
<span class="hljs-keyword">let</span> responseJson = <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> response.json();
<span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> responseJson.movies;
} <span class="hljs-keyword">catch</span> (error) {
<span class="hljs-built_in">console</span>.error(error);
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Don't forget to catch any errors that may be thrown by <code>fetch</code>, otherwise they will be dropped silently.</p>

<p>By default, iOS will block any request that's not encrypted using SSL. If you need to fetch from a cleartext URL (one that begins with <code>http</code>) you will first need to <a href="/react-native/docs/0.44/integration-with-existing-apps#test-your-integration">add an App Transport Security exception</a>. If you know ahead of time what domains you will need access to, it is more secure to add exceptions just for those domains; if the domains are not known until runtime you can <a href="/react-native/docs/0.44/integration-with-existing-apps#app-transport-security">disable ATS completely</a>. Note however that from January 2017, <a href="https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/48979">Apple's App Store review will require reasonable justification for disabling ATS</a>.
