Quote generator JavaScript help

[emanzulfiqar]

Hi campers! Again, I am here in need of help.
Random Quote Machine

This is my first API-related project. I’m not sure why my code isn’t working in CodePen. I watched a YouTube video where he did the exact same thing and got a new quote every time he clicked the quote button. I managed to achieve my goal with jQuery but wanted to know why this code isn’t working in CodePen. Is there anything else that should be included? or a different thing?Please help.

I would add a console.log(results) inside your last then and check if the value is what you expect

[emanzulfiqar]

@ilenia I have console.log(results).It is showing an object of quotes.

But when I console.log(results.json(). It is showing an error.

[ilenia]

yeah, so you don’t have results.content or results.author.

And it’s an array of quotes, so you need to plan your code differently

@emanzulfiqar

But when I console.log(results.json() . It is showing an error.

why are you doing that? you already converted the json

[snowmonkey]

results had already been converted from JSON, if you’re seeing the array of quotes. It’s already an object, so you can’t re-convert it.

@snowmonkey @ilenia Yes, you are right, my mistake.
My JavaScript skills are not very good. I have removed JSON from the code, but when I clicked the New Quote button, it still gave the same error. It’s displaying blank quotes on the screen.

[ilenia]

I don’t see any changes in your code in the codepen

@ilenia Thank you so much for your help. I have figured it out.
