refactor: use the `fetch` API

[lishaduck]

Status

READY

Description

Rewrote it all! :)

In more seriousness:

1. Uses the fetch API uniformly.
2. Adds a new use of await and removes a usage of async. Neither should actually affect the behavior.
3. Moved some code's scope to make it cleaner.

Probably review one-commit-at-a-time?

Closes: #32

Oh, another thing is that this is in sloppy mode, probably worth adding a "use strict" directive. I don't particularly want to file another PR, but if y'all want to keep this small(er), I don't mind if y'all add it yourselves.

I am not against adding that here directly, afaik it is just a one-liner right?
