needle is an HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a simple, flexible, and powerful API for making HTTP requests. It supports all major HTTP methods and has a clean and easy-to-use interface for handling responses and errors.
Example Use
const needle = require('needle');

if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
console.log(res.body);
});
const response = await needle.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
// concurrent requests can be sent using Promise.all
const results = await Promise.all([
needle.get('http://httpbin.org/html'),
needle.get('http://httpbin.org/html'),
needle.get('http://httpbin.org/html'),
])
// POST requests
const data = { name: 'John Doe' };
await needle.post('https://api.example.com', data)

proxy: 'http://proxy.example.com:8080'
};

// headers and cookies
const options = {
headers: {
'Cookie': 'myCookie=123',
'X-My-Header': 'myValue'
}
};
await needle.get('https://httpbin.org/headers', options)
