When I get to step 5 of the async Post Requests II lesson the closing curly brace of my async getData arrow function turned red/pink. I can’t figure out why. Am I missing a semicolon? I tried adding where I thought they might go, but I can’t make the curly brace go back to white.

and here’s the code:

const getData = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api-to-call.com/endpoint', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify({id: 200})
      }
    );
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

Mine has done the same thing throughout these exercises. I’m unsure of the reason why but it hasn’t stopped me progressing or stopped my code from working so I’ve just ignored it.

it seems you have an extra parenthesis and semi-colon after your try code block

same as @robgit28 : I copy-pasted your code @rainbowzebra in the editor of my lesson and there is no red curly brace, so your code is fine.
