Now that you have set up React Query in your React Native project, it is time to fetch data from an API using the useQuery hook. This lesson will guide you through how useQuery works, why it is useful, and how you can use it to fetch and manage data efficiently in your application.

Fetching data is one of the most common tasks in any application. Without a proper way to handle it, you might end up with unnecessary re-fetching, performance issues, or complex state management. React Query simplifies this process by handling caching, background fetching, and automatic updates for you.
