Fetch JSON

JavaScript

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
    const url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";

    // gatherResponse returns both content-type & response body as a string
    async function gatherResponse(response) {
      const { headers } = response;
      const contentType = headers.get("content-type") || "";
      if (contentType.includes("application/json")) {
        return { contentType, result: JSON.stringify(await response.json()) };
      }
      return { contentType, result: await response.text() };
    }

    const response = await fetch(url);
    const { contentType, result } = await gatherResponse(response);

    const options = { headers: { "content-type": contentType } };
    return new Response(result, options);
  },
};

TypeScript

interface Env {}
export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise<Response> {
    const url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";

    // gatherResponse returns both content-type & response body as a string

    const response = await fetch(url);
    const { contentType, result } = await gatherResponse(response);

    const options = { headers: { "content-type": contentType } };

Python

from workers import Response, fetch
import json

async def on_fetch(request):

        content_type = headers["content-type"] or ""

        if "application/json" in content_type:

    response = await fetch(url)
    content_type, result = await gather_response(response)


    headers = {"content-type": content_type}
