Browser support

This library relies on the fetch API being available at runtime. In modern browsers fetch is available natively, and a polyfill is provided for older browsers. The library build that targets browsers can be found in the bundle folder.

Node.js support

The library supports Node.js 8 and above.
When using this library in Node.js you need to add the node-fetch npm package as a dependecy and ensure fetch is registered as a global function:

global.fetch = require("node-fetch");
