http.get

Fetch data with http.get.

What is http.get?

http.get is a method used to fetch data from a URL. It takes a Uri and returns a Response.

final response = await http.get(
  Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/data'),
);
print(response.body);

Response carries the returned data and the statusCode.

Uri.parse and Response

You convert the URL string to a Uri object with Uri.parse. The Response object carries the returned data and the status code.

final uri = Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/data');
final response = await http.get(uri);
print(response.body);

response.body gives the returned content as a string.

Exercise Fetch data with http.get

Write an async method veriCek. Fetch data with http.get(Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/veri')) and print response.body with print('gövde: ${response.body}'). In main, await veriCek and call print('istek tamam').

Show example solution

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

  final response = await http.get(Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/veri'));
  print('gövde: ${response.body}');
}

void main() async {
  await veriCek();
  print('istek tamam');
