wreckvshttp.rb
Wreck is an HTTP client library for Node.js. It provides a simple, consistent API for making HTTP requests, including support for both the client and server side of an HTTP transaction.
Wreck is a very minimal but stable as it's part of Hapi web framework project. For web scraping, it doesn't offer required features like proxy configuration or http2 support so it's not recommended.
http is an HTTP library for Ruby, it's a fork of the Ruby standard library Net::HTTP. It is designed to provide a more modern and consistent API for making HTTP requests and handling responses.
One of the main goals of http is to simplify the process of making HTTP requests and handling responses. It provides a consistent API for making requests and handling responses across different versions of Ruby and different HTTP libraries, making it easier to write cross-compatible code.
http supports all the standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH, and allows you to set headers, query parameters, and request bodies.
Example Use
const Wreck = require('wreck');
// get request
Wreck.get('http://example.com', (err, res, payload) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(payload.toString());
});
// post request
const options = {
headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
payload: JSON.stringify({ name: 'John Doe' })
};
Wreck.post('http://example.com', options, (err, res, payload) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(payload.toString());
});
require 'http'
# GET request
response = HTTP.get("http://httpbin.org/get")
puts response.body
puts response.status
puts response.headers
# POST request
response = HTTP.post("http://httpbin.org/post", json: { title: 'foo', body: 'bar', userId: 1 })
puts response.body
