I am using this API - https://rapidapi.com/rapidapi/api/movie-database-imdb-alternative I am using the JavaScript implementation and I can't see the values I am supposed to. This is not my first work with APIs, but I don't understand this behavior.
My code:
fetch("https://movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com/?i=tt4154796&r=json", {
"method": "GET",
"headers": {
"x-rapidapi-key": "my x-rapidapi-key (don't want to show)",
"x-rapidapi-host": "movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com"
}
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
console.log(response.url);
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
The response I should get:

__proto__: Response
Does anybody know why my code doesn't show the proper values?
BONUS: When I do console.log(response.url); and then click on the URL in Chrome developer tools, I get the proper values., but this works only in developer tools and the URL is the same as the one I am calling. I feel like there is something wrong with the API.
Use res.json() to get json data from api.
fetch("https://movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com/?i=tt4154796&r=json", {
"method": "GET",
"headers": {
"x-rapidapi-key": "my x-rapidapi-key (don't want to show)",
"x-rapidapi-host": "movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com"
}
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response.url);
return response.json()
})
.then(data => {
console.log(data)
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
