wreckvshttparty
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.
HTTParty is a Ruby library that makes it easy to work with HTTP requests and responses. It is built on top of the Ruby standard library's Net::HTTP and provides a simple, easy-to-use interface for making requests and handling responses.
One of the main features of HTTParty is its ability to automatically parse response bodies as JSON, XML, or other formats. This allows developers to easily access the data returned by an API without having to manually parse the response.
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 'httparty'
# get request:
response = HTTParty.get('http://httpbin.org/get')
puts response.body
puts response.code
puts response.message
puts response.headers.inspect
# post request
response = HTTParty.post('http://httpbin.org/post',
:body => { :title => 'foo', :body => 'bar', :userId => 1 }.to_json,
:headers => { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' } )
puts response.body
