 ## `fetch()` in Astro
 
-All [Astro components](/en/core-concepts/astro-components/) have access to the [global `fetch()` function](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetch) in their component script to make HTTP requests to APIs. This fetch call will be executed at build time, and the data will be available to the component template for generating dynamic HTML. If [SSR](/en/guides/server-side-rendering/) mode is enabled, any fetch calls will be executed at runtime.
