ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

  • 2

I have this error when I compile my code in node.js, how can I fix it?

RefernceError: fetch is not defined

enter image description here

This is the function I am doing, it is responsible for recovering information from a specific movie database.

function getMovieTitles(substr){  
  pageNumber=1;
  let url = 'https://jsonmock.hackerrank.com/api/movies/search/?Title=' + substr + "&page=" + pageNumber;
  fetch(url).then((resp) => resp.json()).then(function(data) {
    let movies = data.data;
    let totPages = data.total_pages;
    let sortArray = [];
    for(let i=0; i<movies.length;i++){
        sortArray.push(data.data[i].Title);
     }
    for(let i=2; i<=totPages; i++){
           let newPage = i;
           let url1 = 'https://jsonmock.hackerrank.com/api/movies/search/?Title=' + substr + "&page=" + newPage;

          fetch(url1).then(function(response) {
              var contentType = response.headers.get("content-type");
              if(contentType && contentType.indexOf("application/json") !== -1) {
                return response.json().then(function(json) {
                  //console.log(json); //uncomment this console.log to see the JSON data.

                 for(let i=0; i<json.data.length;i++){
                    sortArray.push(json.data[i].Title);
                 }

                 if(i==totPages)console.log(sortArray.sort());

                });
              } else {
                console.log("Oops, we haven't got JSON!");
              }
            });

        }
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
  });   
}

      The fetch API is not implemented in Node.

      You need to use an external module for that, like node-fetch.

      Install it in your Node application like this

      npm i node-fetch --save
      

      then put the line below at the top of the files where you are using the fetch API:

      const fetch = require("node-fetch");
