got Build Status

Simplified HTTP/HTTPS requests

A nicer interface to the built-in http module.

It also supports following redirects and automagically handling gzip/deflate.

Use request if you need more.

Install

Usage

var got = require('got');

// Callback mode.
got('http://todomvc.com', function (err, data, res) {
	console.log(data);
	//=> <!doctype html> ...
});


// Stream mode.
got('http://todomvc.com').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('index.html'));

// For POST, PUT and PATCH methods got returns WritableStream
fs.createReadStream('index.html').pipe(got.post('http://todomvc.com'));
