Code : const dataReady = (link) => { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { $.ajax({ url: data', dataType: 'json', type: 'GET', success : data => {resolve(data)}, error: () => {reject('Something went wrong!');} }); }); } Usage : Pass the link as the argument of the function, and then use the '.then()' function to get the data, like below : dataReady('https://data-link.com').then(data => { console.log(data); });

Sure, here is the explanation :)) I am using the .ajax method to set an ajax request. $.ajax(); This method takes an objective as an argument which contains information about the request like url, dataType, etc. $.ajax({ url : 'url', dataType: 'json' }); However, most importantly it has success and error property : $.ajax({ url : 'url', dataType: 'json', success: (data) => { console.log("I got the data"); console.log(data); }, error: (err) => { console.log("Something went wrong"); console.log(err); } });

Arb Rahim Badsa What is the meaning of the line return new Promise ((resolve,reject) Can we do this without jQuery? Promise means?

Sure, it is a new addition of ES6. You can now make promise with only javascript! Promise is actually a better way to fetch data from. The function is just returning a new javascript Promise which resolving the data we get from the ajax request. I suggest you to research a bit on what is promise, if you are curious :))

async function fetchApi () { let response = await fetch(url); if (response.ok) { // if HTTP-status is 200-299 // get the response body (the method explained below) let json = await response.json(); // or response.text() for get text string console.log(JSON.stringify(json)); // document.body.innerHTML = contents; } else { alert("HTTP-Error: " + response.status); } } fetchApi()

SOUPTIK NATH Your code was almost correct :)) Just a bit correction : this.status == 200 Not this.status == 20 Here's the code :)) https://code.sololearn.com/WApBRrc6CHB8/?ref=app
