Get string from fetch?

I was wondering how to get a string from this fetch. I have this code so far, for example, I want the level like 

message.reply(`Your level is ${level}`)

Right now I have this code:

if(args[0]) {
  let krunkerName = args[0]
  const api = `https://apiktracer.herokuapp.com/user/${krunkerName}`;

  fetch(api)
    .then(res => res.text())
    .then(body => console.log(body));

  message.channel.send() //String here

} else {
  message.reply("Please select a user to check stats on")
}

From the console.log, I get this right now when i type in a name, in this example mackex5x5:

{"stats":{"name":"mackex5x5","id":2858585,"score":2921985,"level":51,"levelProgress":28,"kills":25913,"deaths":5309,"kdr":"4.88","kpg":"19.92","spk":"112.76","totalGamesPlayed":1301,"wins":922,"loses":379,"wl":"0.71","playTime":"3d 26m","funds":22280,"clan":false,"featured":"No","hacker":false,"following":0,"followers":3,"shots":186973,"hits":72936,"nukes":71,"meleeKills":59,"createdDate":"2019-04-13","createdTime":"13:06:00","lastPlayedClass":"Marksman"},"uuid":"3e78ef6b-6121-42db-a112-e6757e5d0bf4","error":"False"}

You want the .send or .reply in your .then chain.

if(args[0]) {
  let krunkerName = args[0]
  const api = `https://apiktracer.herokuapp.com/user/${krunkerName}`;

  fetch(api)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(body => {
       console.log(body)
       message.reply(`Your level is ${body.stats.level}`) //String here
  });

}else{
  message.reply("Please select a user to check stats on")
}

Because the fetch api is resolving in the future as it is an asynchronous call, so message.channel.send or message.reply is being called BEFORE it resolves.

Are you just asking how you could access data within an object in JavaScript? If so, you should be converting the fetch response to a JavaScript object with json() (rather than parsing it as text):

fetch(api)
  .then(res => res.json()) // change text() to json()
  .then(body => message.reply(`Your level is ${body.stats.level}`));

Access the properties of the object being returned using dot syntax. console.log(body) would become console.log(body.stats.level).
