I am trying to get the JSON output from a Google API using node-fetch. I manage to log it successfully but when I try to assign it to a variable I get an error.

My code:

client.on("ready", () => {
  fetch(url)
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)));
  console.log("##########################################################################");
  search1 = JSON.stringify(data, null, 2);
  console.log(search1);
});

The error:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ReferenceError: data is not defined

    at Client.emit (events.js:375:28)

I do get the JSON output from .then((data) => console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2))); though.

    `data` is local to the second `.then()` function. You can't reference it outside the function. – Barmar Aug 04 '21 at 21:01

You have a mistake with your brackets. In you bottom .then you are closing the function with the final bracket, if you move the bracket out one layer it should work.

client.on("ready", () => {
    fetch(url)
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((data) => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
        console.log("##########################################################################");
        search1=JSON.stringify(data, null, 2);
        console.log(search1);
    });
});
