Welcome to Part 38 of the Ultimate Guide to Server-Side Scripting!
In this session, we’ll create a powerful GET API endpoint to retrieve all blog posts from our MongoDB database using Prisma ORM. You’ll learn how to fetch data efficiently, handle errors gracefully, and return structured JSON responses to the client.
✅ What You’ll Learn:
✔️ Setting up a /blogs GET endpoint in Express
✔️ Querying all blog records using Prisma’s findMany() method
✔️ Structuring response data for frontend consumption
✔️ Handling empty results and server errors
✔️ Testing your endpoint with Postman or Thunder Client
💡 Why It Matters:
🔹 Demonstrates how backend APIs communicate with databases
🔹 Builds the foundation for listing, filtering, and paginating data
🔹 Essential for developing dashboards, feeds, or blog systems

In Part 39, we’ll move to Get Single Blog by ID, where you’ll learn to fetch and display individual records dynamically.
