cURL Request for Node.js

License Downloads

cURL Request is a cURL wrapper, support all options and infos from cURL.

Why a cURL wrapper?

  • All node libaries i have tested are very buggy in case you use a proxy and https
  • cURL is working for all cases since years
  • The wrapper is easy to use with promises

Installing

To utilize for node.js install the the npm module:

$ npm install curl-request --save

After installing the npm package you can now start simplifying requests like so:

const curl = new (require( 'curl-request' ))();

If you have problems installing the dependencies, use this to build it from source:

$ npm install node-libcurl --build-from-source 

Usage

const curl = new (require( 'curl-request' ))();

curl.setHeaders([
    'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36'
])
.get('https://www.google.com')
.then(({statusCode, body, headers}) => {
    console.log(statusCode, body, headers)
})
.catch((e) => {
    console.log(e);
});
