APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, allow you to access data from various services. When fetching data, the time it takes can vary based on factors like data size and network speed. Unlike setTimeout , where you specify a delay, real data fetching times are unpredictable. Consider the following example where we simulate fetching a user from a database:
