/**
 * Connects to an external API using Fetch.
 * @param {string} url - The URL of the API endpoint.
 * @returns {Promise} - A promise that resolves with the response data.

function fetchApiData(url) {
    return fetch(url)
        .then(response => {
            if (!response.ok) {
                throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
            }
            return response.json();
        })
        .catch(error => console.error('Fetch error:', error));
}

// Usage Example
const apiUrl = "https://api.example.com/data";
fetchApiData(apiUrl)
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.log(error));

// Additional Notes:
// Remember to handle errors and check for a successful response.
// This function returns a promise, so it should be used with .then() or async/await.
