Below is a simple JavaScript code example using fetch for calling the Geocode.xyz API:

const geocodeApiUrl = 'https://geocode.xyz';

async function getLocationData(place) {
    const response = await fetch(`${geocodeApiUrl}?locate=${place}&json=1`);
    if(response.ok){
        const locationData = await response.json();
        console.log(locationData);
    } else {
        console.log(`HTTP-Error: ${response.status}`);
    }
}

getLocationData('New York');

In the above code, we first declare the base URL for the Geocode.xyz' API. Then, we create an asynchronous function, getLocationData(), to fetch the location data for a given place, handling both successful and error responses.
