## Motivation
Instead of implementing `XMLHttpRequest` in Node.js to run browser-specific [Fetch polyfill](https://github.com/github/fetch), why not go from native `http` to `fetch` API directly? Hence, `node-fetch`, minimal code for a `window.fetch` compatible API on Node.js runtime.
See Matt Andrews' [isomorphic-fetch](https://github.com/matthew-andrews/isomorphic-fetch) or Leonardo Quixada's [cross-fetch](https://github.com/lquixada/cross-fetch) for isomorphic usage (exports `node-fetch` for server-side, `whatwg-fetch` for client-side).
## Features
- Stay consistent with `window.fetch` API.
- Make conscious trade-off when following [WHATWG fetch spec][whatwg-fetch] and [stream spec](https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/) implementation details, document known differences.
- Use native promise but allow substituting it with [insert your favorite promise library].
- Use native Node streams for body on both request and response.
- Decode content encoding (gzip/deflate) properly and convert string output (such as `res.text()` and `res.json()`) to UTF-8 automatically.
- Useful extensions such as timeout, redirect limit, response size limit, [explicit errors](ERROR-HANDLING.md) for troubleshooting.
## Difference from client-side fetch
- See [Known Differences](LIMITS.md) for details.
- If you happen to use a missing feature that `window.fetch` offers, feel free to open an issue.
- Pull requests are welcomed too!
## Installation
Current stable release (`2.x`)
```sh
$ npm install node-fetch
```
## Loading and configuring the module
We suggest you load the module via `require` until the stabilization of ES modules in node:
```js
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
```
If you are using a Promise library other than native, set it through `fetch.Promise`:
```js
const Bluebird = require('bluebird');
fetch.Promise = Bluebird;
```
## Common Usage
NOTE: The documentation below is up-to-date with `2.x` releases; see the [`1.x` readme](https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch/blob/1.x/README.md), [changelog](https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch/blob/1.x/CHANGELOG.md) and [2.x upgrade guide](UPGRADE-GUIDE.md) for the differences.
#### Plain text or HTML
```js
fetch('https://github.com/')
.then(res => res.text())
.then(body => console.log(body));
```
#### JSON
```js
fetch('https://api.github.com/users/github')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
```
#### Simple Post
```js
fetch('https://httpbin.org/post', { method: 'POST', body: 'a=1' })
.then(res => res.json()) // expecting a json response
.then(json => console.log(json));
```
#### Post with JSON
```js
const body = { a: 1 };
fetch('https://httpbin.org/post', {
method: 'post',
body: JSON.stringify(body),
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
})
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
```
#### Post with form parameters
`URLSearchParams` is available in Node.js as of v7.5.0. See [official documentation](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_class_urlsearchparams) for more usage methods.
NOTE: The `Content-Type` header is only set automatically to `x-www-form-urlencoded` when an instance of `URLSearchParams` is given as such:
```js
const { URLSearchParams } = require('url');
const params = new URLSearchParams();
params.append('a', 1);
fetch('https://httpbin.org/post', { method: 'POST', body: params })
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
```
#### Handling exceptions
NOTE: 3xx-5xx responses are *NOT* exceptions and should be handled in `then()`; see the next section for more information.
Adding a catch to the fetch promise chain will catch *all* exceptions, such as errors originating from node core libraries, network errors and operational errors, which are instances of FetchError. See the [error handling document](ERROR-HANDLING.md) for more details.
```js
fetch('https://domain.invalid/')
.catch(err => console.error(err));
```
#### Handling client and server errors
It is common to create a helper function to check that the response contains no client (4xx) or server (5xx) error responses:
```js
function checkStatus(res) {
if (res.ok) { // res.status >= 200 && res.status < 300
return res;
} else {
throw MyCustomError(res.statusText);
}
}
fetch('https://httpbin.org/status/400')
.then(checkStatus)
.then(res => console.log('will not get here...'))
```
## Advanced Usage
#### Streams
The "Node.js way" is to use streams when possible:
```js
fetch('https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/logos_page/Octocat.png')
.then(res => {
const dest = fs.createWriteStream('./octocat.png');
res.body.pipe(dest);
});
```
In Node.js 14 you can also use async iterators to read `body`; however, be careful to catch
errors -- the longer a response runs, the more likely it is to encounter an error.
```js
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const response = await fetch('https://httpbin.org/stream/3');
try {
for await (const chunk of response.body) {
console.dir(JSON.parse(chunk.toString()));
}
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.stack);
}
```
In Node.js 12 you can also use async iterators to read `body`; however, async iterators with streams
did not mature until Node.js 14, so you need to do some extra work to ensure you handle errors
directly from the stream and wait on it response to fully close.
```js
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const read = async body => {
let error;
body.on('error', err => {
error = err;
});
for await (const chunk of body) {
console.dir(JSON.parse(chunk.toString()));
}
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
body.on('close', () => {
error ? reject(error) : resolve();
});
});
};
try {
const response = await fetch('https://httpbin.org/stream/3');
await read(response.body);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.stack);
}
```
#### Buffer
If you prefer to cache binary data in full, use buffer(). (NOTE: `buffer()` is a `node-fetch`-only API)
```js
const fileType = require('file-type');
fetch('https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/logos_page/Octocat.png')
.then(res => res.buffer())
.then(buffer => fileType(buffer))
.then(type => { /* ... */ });
```
#### Accessing Headers and other Meta data
```js
fetch('https://github.com/')
.then(res => {
console.log(res.ok);
console.log(res.status);
console.log(res.statusText);
console.log(res.headers.raw());
console.log(res.headers.get('content-type'));
});
```
#### Extract Set-Cookie Header
Unlike browsers, you can access raw `Set-Cookie` headers manually using `Headers.raw()`. This is a `node-fetch` only API.
```js
fetch(url).then(res => {
// returns an array of values, instead of a string of comma-separated values
console.log(res.headers.raw()['set-cookie']);
});
```
#### Post data using a file stream
```js
const { createReadStream } = require('fs');
const stream = createReadStream('input.txt');
fetch('https://httpbin.org/post', { method: 'POST', body: stream })
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
```
#### Post with form-data (detect multipart)
```js
const FormData = require('form-data');
const form = new FormData();
form.append('a', 1);
fetch('https://httpbin.org/post', { method: 'POST', body: form })
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
// OR, using custom headers
// NOTE: getHeaders() is non-standard API
const form = new FormData();
form.append('a', 1);
const options = {
method: 'POST',
body: form,
headers: form.getHeaders()
}
fetch('https://httpbin.org/post', options)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
```
#### Request cancellation with AbortSignal
> NOTE: You may cancel streamed requests only on Node >= v8.0.0
You may cancel requests with `AbortController`. A suggested implementation is [`abort-controller`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/abort-controller).
An example of timing out a request after 150ms could be achieved as the following:
```js
import AbortController from 'abort-controller';
const controller = new AbortController();
const timeout = setTimeout(
() => { controller.abort(); },
150,
);
fetch(url, { signal: controller.signal })
.then(res => res.json())
.then(
data => {
useData(data)
},
err => {
if (err.name === 'AbortError') {
// request was aborted
}
},
)
.finally(() => {
clearTimeout(timeout);
});
```
See [test cases](https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch/blob/master/test/test.js) for more examples.
## API
### fetch(url[, options])
- `url` A string representing the URL for fetching
- `options` [Options](#fetch-options) for the HTTP(S) request
- Returns: <code>Promise&lt;[Response](#class-response)&gt;</code>
Perform an HTTP(S) fetch.
`url` should be an absolute url, such as `https://example.com/`. A path-relative URL (`/file/under/root`) or protocol-relative URL (`//can-be-http-or-https.com/`) will result in a rejected `Promise`.
<a id="fetch-options"></a>
### Options
The default values are shown after each option key.
```js
{
// These properties are part of the Fetch Standard
method: 'GET',
headers: {}, // request headers. format is the identical to that accepted by the Headers constructor (see below)
body: null, // request body. can be null, a string, a Buffer, a Blob, or a Node.js Readable stream
redirect: 'follow', // set to `manual` to extract redirect headers, `error` to reject redirect
signal: null, // pass an instance of AbortSignal to optionally abort requests
// The following properties are node-fetch extensions
follow: 20, // maximum redirect count. 0 to not follow redirect
timeout: 0, // req/res timeout in ms, it resets on redirect. 0 to disable (OS limit applies). Signal is recommended instead.
compress: true, // support gzip/deflate content encoding. false to disable
size: 0, // maximum response body size in bytes. 0 to disable
agent: null // http(s).Agent instance or function that returns an instance (see below)
}
```
##### Default Headers
If no values are set, the following request headers will be sent automatically:
Header | Value
------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------
`Accept-Encoding` | `gzip,deflate` _(when `options.compress === true`)_
`Accept` | `*/*`
`Connection` | `close` _(when no `options.agent` is present)_
`Content-Length` | _(automatically calculated, if possible)_
`Transfer-Encoding` | `chunked` _(when `req.body` is a stream)_
`User-Agent` | `node-fetch/1.0 (+https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch)`
Note: when `body` is a `Stream`, `Content-Length` is not set automatically.
##### Custom Agent
The `agent` option allows you to specify networking related options which are out of the scope of Fetch, including and not limited to the following:
- Support self-signed certificate
- Use only IPv4 or IPv6
- Custom DNS Lookup
See [`http.Agent`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_new_agent_options) for more information.
In addition, the `agent` option accepts a function that returns `http`(s)`.Agent` instance given current [URL](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html), this is useful during a redirection chain across HTTP and HTTPS protocol.
```js
const httpAgent = new http.Agent({
keepAlive: true
});
const httpsAgent = new https.Agent({
keepAlive: true
});
const options = {
agent: function (_parsedURL) {
if (_parsedURL.protocol == 'http:') {
return httpAgent;
} else {
return httpsAgent;
}
}
}
```
<a id="class-request"></a>
### Class: Request
An HTTP(S) request containing information about URL, method, headers, and the body. This class implements the [Body](#iface-body) interface.
Due to the nature of Node.js, the following properties are not implemented at this moment:
- `type`
- `destination`
- `referrer`
- `referrerPolicy`
- `mode`
- `credentials`
- `cache`
- `integrity`
- `keepalive`
The following node-fetch extension properties are provided:
- `follow`
- `compress`
- `counter`
- `agent`
See [options](#fetch-options) for exact meaning of these extensions.
#### new Request(input[, options])
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
- `input` A string representing a URL, or another `Request` (which will be cloned)
- `options` [Options][#fetch-options] for the HTTP(S) request
Constructs a new `Request` object. The constructor is identical to that in the [browser](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request/Request).
In most cases, directly `fetch(url, options)` is simpler than creating a `Request` object.
<a id="class-response"></a>
### Class: Response
An HTTP(S) response. This class implements the [Body](#iface-body) interface.
The following properties are not implemented in node-fetch at this moment:
- `Response.error()`
- `Response.redirect()`
- `type`
- `trailer`
#### new Response([body[, options]])
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
- `body` A `String` or [`Readable` stream][node-readable]
- `options` A [`ResponseInit`][response-init] options dictionary
Constructs a new `Response` object. The constructor is identical to that in the [browser](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response/Response).
Because Node.js does not implement service workers (for which this class was designed), one rarely has to construct a `Response` directly.
#### response.ok
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
Convenience property representing if the request ended normally. Will evaluate to true if the response status was greater than or equal to 200 but smaller than 300.
#### response.redirected
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
Convenience property representing if the request has been redirected at least once. Will evaluate to true if the internal redirect counter is greater than 0.
<a id="class-headers"></a>
### Class: Headers
This class allows manipulating and iterating over a set of HTTP headers. All methods specified in the [Fetch Standard][whatwg-fetch] are implemented.
#### new Headers([init])
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
- `init` Optional argument to pre-fill the `Headers` object
Construct a new `Headers` object. `init` can be either `null`, a `Headers` object, an key-value map object or any iterable object.
```js
// Example adapted from https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#example-headers-class
const meta = {
'Content-Type': 'text/xml',
'Breaking-Bad': '<3'
};
const headers = new Headers(meta);
// The above is equivalent to
const meta = [
[ 'Content-Type', 'text/xml' ],
[ 'Breaking-Bad', '<3' ]
];
const headers = new Headers(meta);
// You can in fact use any iterable objects, like a Map or even another Headers
const meta = new Map();
meta.set('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
meta.set('Breaking-Bad', '<3');
const headers = new Headers(meta);
const copyOfHeaders = new Headers(headers);
```
<a id="iface-body"></a>
### Interface: Body
`Body` is an abstract interface with methods that are applicable to both `Request` and `Response` classes.
The following methods are not yet implemented in node-fetch at this moment:
- `formData()`
#### body.body
<small>*(deviation from spec)*</small>
* Node.js [`Readable` stream][node-readable]
Data are encapsulated in the `Body` object. Note that while the [Fetch Standard][whatwg-fetch] requires the property to always be a WHATWG `ReadableStream`, in node-fetch it is a Node.js [`Readable` stream][node-readable].
#### body.bodyUsed
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
* `Boolean`
A boolean property for if this body has been consumed. Per the specs, a consumed body cannot be used again.
#### body.arrayBuffer()
#### body.blob()
#### body.json()
#### body.text()
<small>*(spec-compliant)*</small>
* Returns: <code>Promise</code>
Consume the body and return a promise that will resolve to one of these formats.
#### body.buffer()
<small>*(node-fetch extension)*</small>
* Returns: <code>Promise&lt;Buffer&gt;</code>
Consume the body and return a promise that will resolve to a Buffer.
#### body.textConverted()
<small>*(node-fetch extension)*</small>
* Returns: <code>Promise&lt;String&gt;</code>
Identical to `body.text()`, except instead of always converting to UTF-8, encoding sniffing will be performed and text converted to UTF-8 if possible.
(This API requires an optional dependency of the npm package [encoding](https://www.npmjs.com/package/encoding), which you need to install manually. `webpack` users may see [a warning message](https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch/issues/412#issuecomment-379007792) due to this optional dependency.)
<a id="class-fetcherror"></a>
### Class: FetchError
<small>*(node-fetch extension)*</small>
An operational error in the fetching process. See [ERROR-HANDLING.md][] for more info.
<a id="class-aborterror"></a>
### Class: AbortError
<small>*(node-fetch extension)*</small>
An Error thrown when the request is aborted in response to an `AbortSignal`'s `abort` event. It has a `name` property of `AbortError`. See [ERROR-HANDLING.MD][] for more info.
