[REQUEST NEW CONTENT] Mastering API Requests: Using Fetch with Strapi's Content API

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hello 👋,

We would love to have an in-dept content on using fetch() with Strapi. It should cover how to query the Content API, Making GET Requests with Fetch, Sending POST Requests with Fetch, Updating and Deleting with PUT and DELETE Requests, Authentication and Authorization, File uploads, some Strapi internals like populations and filters, pagination, sorting, etc. Thank you! Depending on the effort and quality put into this, we could make this intermediate.
