Promise-based request library for node using the native http module.
@algolia/requester-node-http is a Node.js HTTP requester designed to be used with Algolia's API clients. It provides a simple and efficient way to make HTTP requests, particularly suited for interacting with Algolia's services.
Basic HTTP Request
This feature allows you to make a basic HTTP GET request using the @algolia/requester-node-http package. The code sample demonstrates how to create a requester and send a GET request to a specified URL.
const { createNodeHttpRequester } = require('@algolia/requester-node-http');
const requester = createNodeHttpRequester();
const request = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://example.com',
headers: {},
data: null,
responseType: 'json'
};
requester.send(request).then(response => {
console.log(response);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
POST Request with Data
This feature allows you to make a POST request with a JSON payload. The code sample demonstrates how to create a requester and send a POST request with data to a specified URL.
const { createNodeHttpRequester } = require('@algolia/requester-node-http');
const requester = createNodeHttpRequester();
const request = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://example.com/api',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
data: JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' }),
responseType: 'json'
};
requester.send(request).then(response => {
console.log(response);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
Handling Response and Errors
This feature demonstrates how to handle responses and errors from HTTP requests. The code sample shows how to log the response or error to the console.
const { createNodeHttpRequester } = require('@algolia/requester-node-http');
const requester = createNodeHttpRequester();
const request = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://example.com',
headers: {},
data: null,
responseType: 'json'
};
requester.send(request).then(response => {
console.log('Response:', response);
}).catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
});
