# `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, as well as infers API response type.
## Type
```ts [Signature]
function useFetch(
url: string | Request,
options?: UseFetchOptions
): Promise<DataT>
type UseFetchOptions = {
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[]
}
type 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`)**:
* `lazy`: Whether to resolve the async function after loading the route, instead of blocking navigation (defaults to `false`).
* `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.
* `transform`: A function that can be used to alter `handler` function result after resolving.
## 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. Passing `true` as parameter skips that wait.
## Example
```ts
const { data, pending, error, refresh } = await useFetch(
'https://api.nuxtjs.dev/mountains',
{
pick: ['title']
}
)
```
