Advice generator app solution

Solution retrospective
I'm really happy that I was able to create this : )
Since I started this journey, I've always been very intrigued by API. I still don't understand them in a deep way but hopefully by working more with them I'll be able to understand them better.
What I'm feeling right now is that an API is the documentation of the different links to the JSON files. (I may be really wrong)
If any of you has an easy way of putting what it is in an easy way, I would really appreciate it : )
Thank you!

Hi Lorenzo
Great work on this challenge. I've completed this one the other day too. Not sure if you tried to open it with firefox, but you will notice that it isn't working. It works just fine in chrome though. I've had a similar issue, and it turns out that the requests made to get an advice are being cached in firefox. So to get around that you add the following:
const data = await fetch(' https://api.adviceslip.com/advice', { cache: 'no-cache' } , );
It should then also work in firefox. :)
