simple-get

Simplest way to make http get requests

features

This module is designed to be the lightest possible wrapper on top of node.js http, but supporting:

• follows redirects
• automatically handles gzip/deflate responses
• supports HTTPS
• supports convenience url key so there's no need to use url.parse on the url when specifying options

All this in < 100 lines of code.

install

npm install simple-get

usage

simple GET request

Doesn't get easier than this:

var get = require('simple-get')

get('http://example.com', function (err, res) {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(res.statusCode) // 200
  res.pipe(process.stdout) // `res` is a stream
})

even simpler GET request

If you just want the data, and don't want to deal with streams:

var get = require('simple-get')

get.concat('http://example.com', function (err, data, res) {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(res.statusCode) // 200
  console.log(data) // 'this is the server response'
})

POST, PUT, PATCH, HEAD, DELETE support

For POST, call get.post or use option { method: 'POST' }.

var get = require('simple-get')

var opts = {
  url: 'http://example.com',
  body: 'this is the POST body'
}
get.post(opts, function (err, res) {
  if (err) throw err
  res.pipe(process.stdout) // `res` is a stream
})

A more complex example:

var get = require('simple-get')
var concat = require('concat-stream')

get({
  url: 'http://example.com',
  method: 'POST',
  body: 'this is the POST body',

  // simple-get accepts all options that node.js `http` accepts
  // See: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback
  headers: {
    'user-agent': 'my cool app'
  }
}, function (err, res) {
  if (err) throw err

  // All properties/methods from http.IncomingResponse are available,
  // even if a gunzip/inflate transform stream was returned.
  // See: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_incomingmessage
  res.setTimeout(10000)
  console.log(res.headers)

  res.pipe(concat(function (data) {
    // `data` is the decoded response, after it's been gunzipped or inflated
    // (if applicable)
    console.log('got the response: ' + data)
  }))

})
