cURL equivalent in Node.js?
See the documentation for the HTTP module for a full example:
https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback
The http module that you use to run servers is also used to make remote requests.
Here's the example in their docs:
var http = require("http");var options = { host: 'www.google.com', port: 80, path: '/upload', method: 'POST'};var req = http.request(options, function(res) { console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode); console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers)); res.setEncoding('utf8'); res.on('data', function (chunk) { console.log('BODY: ' + chunk); });});req.on('error', function(e) { console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);});// write data to request bodyreq.write('data\n');req.write('data\n');req.end();
you can easily use request module:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/request
Sample code:
var request = require('request');request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) { if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) { console.log(body) // Show the HTML for the Google homepage. } else { console.log("Error "+response.statusCode) }})
