Example Use
```javascript
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
// fetch supports both Promises and async/await
fetch('http://httpbin.org/get')
.then(res => res.text())
.then(body => console.log(body))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
const response = await fetch('http://httpbin.org/get');
// for concurrent scraping Promise.all can be used
const results = await Promise.all([
fetch('http://httpbin.org/html'),
fetch('http://httpbin.org/html'),
fetch('http://httpbin.org/html'),
])
// POST requests
await fetch('http://httpbin.org/post', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ name: 'John Doe' }),
})
// Proxy use:
const agent = new https.Agent({
rejectUnauthorized: false,
proxy: {
host: 'proxy.example.com',
port: 8080
}
});
await fetch('https://httpbin.org/ip', { agent })
// setting headers and cookies
const headers = new fetch.Headers();
headers.append('Cookie', 'myCookie=123');
headers.append('X-My-Header', 'myValue');
await fetch('https://httpbin.org/headers', { headers })
```
```php
use Buzz\Client\Curl;
use Buzz\Message\Request;
use Buzz\Message\Response;
$client = new Curl();
// GET request
$request = new Request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org/get');
$response = new Response();
$client->send($request, $response);
echo $response->getContent();
//POST request
$request = new Request('POST', '/api/resource', 'http://example.com');
$request->setContent(json_encode(['name' => 'John Doe']));
// we can also add headers or cookies:
$request->addHeader('Content-Type: application/json');
$request->addHeader('Cookie: name=foobar');
$response = new Response();
$client->send($request, $response);
echo $response->getContent();
// Buzz also supports http2 (see the 2.0 parameter)
$response = $client->sendRequest(
new Request('GET', 'https://http2.golang.org/serverpush', [], null, '2.0')
);
