# `useFetch`
This composable provides a convenient wrapper around [`useAsyncData`](/api/composables/use-async-data) and [`$fetch`](/api/utils/$fetch). It automatically generates a key based on URL and fetch options, provides type hints for request url based on server routes, and infers API response type.
## Type
```ts [Signature]
function useFetch(
url: string | Request | Ref<string | Request> | () => string | Request,
options?: UseFetchOptions<DataT>
): Promise<AsyncData<DataT>>
type UseFetchOptions = {
key?: string
method?: string
params?: SearchParams
body?: RequestInit['body'] | Record<string, any>
headers?: { key: string, value: string }[]
baseURL?: string
server?: boolean
lazy?: boolean
default?: () => DataT
transform?: (input: DataT) => DataT
pick?: string[]
watch?: WatchSource[]
initialCache?: boolean
}
type AsyncData<DataT> = {
data: Ref<DataT>
pending: Ref<boolean>
refresh: () => Promise<void>
error: Ref<Error | boolean>
}
```
## Params
* **Url**: The URL to fetch.
* **Options (extends [unjs/ohmyfetch](https://github.com/unjs/ohmyfetch) options & [AsyncDataOptions](/api/composables/use-async-data#params))**:
* `method`: Request method.
* `params`: Query params.
* `body`: Request body - automatically stringified (if an object is passed).
* `headers`: Request headers.
* `baseURL`: Base URL for the request.
* **Options (from `useAsyncData`)**:
* `key`: a unique key to ensure that data fetching can be properly de-duplicated across requests, if not provided, it will be generated based on the static code location where `useAyncData` is used.
* `server`: Whether to fetch the data on the server (defaults to `true`).
* `default`: A factory function to set the default value of the data, before the async function resolves - particularly useful with the `lazy: true` option.
* `pick`: Only pick specified keys in this array from the `handler` function result.
* `watch`: watch reactive sources to auto-refresh.
* `initialCache`: When set to `false`, will skip payload cache for initial fetch (defaults to `true`).
* `transform`: A function that can be used to alter `handler` function result after resolving.
::alert{type=warning}
If you provide a function or ref as the `url` parameter, or if you provide functions as arguments to the `options` parameter, then the `useFetch` call will not match other `useFetch` calls elsewhere in your codebase, even if the options seem to be identical. If you wish to force a match, you may provide your own key in `options`.
::
## Return Values
* **data**: the result of the asynchronous function that is passed in.
* **pending**: a boolean indicating whether the data is still being fetched.
* **refresh**: a function that can be used to refresh the data returned by the `handler` function.
* **error**: an error object if the data fetching failed.
By default, Nuxt waits until a `refresh` is finished before it can be executed again.
::alert{type=warning}
If you have not fetched data on the server (for example, with `server: false`), then the data _will not_ be fetched until hydration completes. This means even if you await `useFetch` on client-side, `data` will remain null within `<script setup>`.

## Example
```ts
const { data, pending, error, refresh } = await useFetch(
'https://api.nuxtjs.dev/mountains',
{
pick: ['title']
}
)
```
