# Fault-tolerant Promise.all
We'd like to fetch multiple URLs in parallel.
Here's the code to do that:
```js run
let urls = [
'https://api.github.com/users/iliakan',
'https://api.github.com/users/remy',
'https://api.github.com/users/jeresig'
];
Promise.all(urls.map(url => fetch(url)))
// for each response show its status
.then(responses => { // (*)
for(let response of responses) {
alert(`${response.url}: ${response.status}`);
}
});
```
The problem is that if any of requests fails, then `Promise.all` rejects with the error, and we lose the results of all the other requests.
That's not good.
Modify the code so that the array `responses` in the line `(*)` would include the response objects for successful fetches and error objects for failed ones.
For instance, if one of the URLs is bad, then it should be like:
```js
let urls = [
'https://api.github.com/users/iliakan',
'https://api.github.com/users/remy',
'http://no-such-url'
];
Promise.all(...) // your code to fetch URLs...
// ...and pass fetch errors as members of the resulting array...
.then(responses => {
// 3 urls => 3 array members
alert(responses[0].status); // 200
alert(responses[1].status); // 200
alert(responses[2]); // TypeError: failed to fetch (text may vary)
});
```
P.S. In this task you don't have to load the full response using `response.text()` or `response.json()`. Just handle fetch errors the right way.
