GRequests

A Go "clone" of the great and famous Requests library

License

GRequests is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. See LICENSE for the full license text

Features

Responses can be serialized into JSON and XML
Easy file uploads
Easy file downloads
Support for the following HTTP verbs GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS

Install

go get -u github.com/levigross/grequests

Usage

import "github.com/levigross/grequests"

Basic Examples

Basic GET request:

resp, err := grequests.Get("http://httpbin.org/get", nil)
// You can modify the request by passing an optional RequestOptions struct

if err != nil {
	log.Fatalln("Unable to make request: ", err)
}

fmt.Println(resp.String())
// {
//   "args": {},
//   "headers": {
//     "Accept": "*/*",
//     "Host": "httpbin.org",

If an error occurs all of the other properties and methods of a Response will be nil

Quirks

Request Quirks

When passing parameters to be added to a URL, if the URL has existing parameters that contradict with what has been passed within Params – Params will be the "source of authority" and overwrite the contradicting URL parameter.

Lets see how it works...

ro := &RequestOptions{
	Params: map[string]string{"Hello": "Goodbye"},
}
Get("http://httpbin.org/get?Hello=World", ro)
// The URL is now http://httpbin.org/get?Hello=Goodbye

Response Quirks

Order matters! This is because grequests.Response is implemented as an io.ReadCloser which proxies the http.Response.Body io.ReadCloser interface. It also includes an internal buffer for use in Response.String() and Response.Bytes().

Here are a list of methods that consume the http.Response.Body io.ReadCloser interface.

Response.JSON
Response.XML
Response.DownloadToFile
Response.Close
Response.Read

The following methods make use of an internal byte buffer

Response.String
Response.Bytes

In the code below, once the file is downloaded – the Response struct no longer has access to the request bytes

response := Get("http://some-wonderful-file.txt", nil)

if err := response.DownloadToFile("randomFile"); err != nil {
	log.Println("Unable to download file: ", err)
}

// At this point the .String and .Bytes method will return empty responses

response.Bytes() == nil // true
response.String() == "" // true

But if we were to call response.Bytes() or response.String() first, every operation will succeed until the internal buffer is cleared:

response := Get("http://some-wonderful-file.txt", nil)

// This call to .Bytes caches the request bytes in an internal byte buffer – which can be used again and again until it is cleared
response.Bytes() == `file-bytes`
response.String() == "file-string"

// This will work because it will use the internal byte buffer
if err := resp.DownloadToFile("randomFile"); err != nil {
	log.Println("Unable to download file: ", err)
}

// Now if we clear the internal buffer....
response.ClearInternalBuffer()

// At this point the .String and .Bytes method will return empty responses

response.Bytes() == nil // true
response.String() == "" // true

    // with too many redirects
    ErrRedirectLimitExceeded = errors.New("grequests: Request exceeded redirect count")

    // RedirectLimit is a tunable variable that specifies how many times we can
    // redirect in response to a redirect. This is the global variable, if you
    // wish to set this on a request by request basis, set it within the
    // `RequestOptions` structure
    RedirectLimit = 30

    // SensitiveHTTPHeaders is a map of sensitive HTTP headers that a user
    // doesn't want passed on a redirect. This is the global variable, if you

	// ErrRedirectLimitExceeded is the error returned when the request responded
	// with too many redirects

	// RedirectLimit is a tunable variable that specifies how many times we can

	// wish to set this on a request by request basis, set it within the
	// `RequestOptions` structure

Functions ¶

func BuildHTTPClient ¶

func BuildHTTPClient(ro RequestOptions) *http.Client

BuildHTTPClient is a function that will return a custom HTTP client based on the request options provided the check is in UseDefaultClient

func EnsureTransporterFinalized ¶

func EnsureTransporterFinalized(httpTransport *http.Transport)

EnsureTransporterFinalized will ensure that when the HTTP client is GCed the runtime will close the idle connections (so that they won't leak) this function was adopted from Hashicorp's go-cleanhttp package

Types ¶

type FileUpload ¶

type FileUpload struct {
	// Filename is the name of the file that you wish to upload. We use this to guess the mimetype as well as pass it onto the server
	FileName string

	// FileContents is happy as long as you pass it a io.ReadCloser (which most file use anyways)
	FileContents io.ReadCloser

	// FieldName is form field name
	FieldName string
}

FileUpload is a struct that is used to specify the file that a User wishes to upload.

func FileUploadFromDisk ¶

func FileUploadFromDisk(fileName string) ([]FileUpload, error)

FileUploadFromDisk allows you to create a FileUpload struct slice by just specifying a location on the disk

func FileUploadFromGlob ¶

func FileUploadFromGlob(fileSystemGlob string) ([]FileUpload, error)

FileUploadFromGlob allows you to create a FileUpload struct slice by just specifying a glob location on the disk this function will gloss over all errors in the files and only upload the files that don't return errors from the glob

type RequestOptions ¶

type RequestOptions struct {

	// Data is a map of key values that will eventually convert into the
	// query string of a GET request or the body of a POST request.
	Data map[string]string

	// Params is a map of query strings that may be used within a GET request
	Params map[string]string

	// QueryStruct is a struct that encapsulates a set of URL query params
	// this paramter is mutually exclusive with `Params map[string]string` (they cannot be combined)
	// for more information please see https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-querystring/query
	QueryStruct interface{}

	// Files is where you can include files to upload. The use of this data
	// structure is limited to POST requests
	Files []FileUpload

	// JSON can be used when you wish to send JSON within the request body
	JSON interface{}

	// XML can be used if you wish to send XML within the request body
	XML interface{}

	// Headers if you want to add custom HTTP headers to the request,
	// this is your friend
	Headers map[string]string

	// InsecureSkipVerify is a flag that specifies if we should validate the
	// server's TLS certificate. It should be noted that Go's TLS verify mechanism
	// doesn't validate if a certificate has been revoked
	InsecureSkipVerify bool

	// DisableCompression will disable gzip compression on requests
	DisableCompression bool

	// UserAgent allows you to set an arbitrary custom user agent
	UserAgent string

	// Host allows you to set an arbitrary custom host
	Host string

	// Auth allows you to specify a user name and password that you wish to

	// formatting the username and password in base64 the format is:
	// []string{username, password}
	Auth []string

	// IsAjax is a flag that can be set to make the request appear
	// to be generated by browser Javascript
	IsAjax bool

	// Cookies is an array of `http.Cookie` that allows you to attach

	// process and store HTTP cookies when they are sent down
	UseCookieJar bool

	// *protocol* => proxy address e.g http => http://127.0.0.1:8080
	Proxies map[string]*url.URL

	// doesn't want passed on a redirect.
	SensitiveHTTPHeaders map[string]struct{}
