const p = require('phin')

p('https://ethanent.me', (err, res) => {
	if (!err) console.log(res.body)
})

npm install phin

phin is trusted by some really important projects. The hundreds of contributors at Less, for example, depend on phin as part of their development process.

Also, phin is super lightweight. Like 99.8% smaller than request lightweight. To compare to other libraries, see phin vs. the Competition.

Simple POST:

p({
	url: 'https://ethanent.me',
	method: 'POST',
	data: {
		hey: 'hi'
	}
})

Promisified:

const p = require('phin').promisified

;(async () => {
	const res = await p({
		url: 'https://ethanent.me'
	})

	console.log(res.body)
})()

Simple parsing of JSON:

// (In async function in this case.)

const res = await p({
	url: 'https://ethanent.me/name',
	parse: 'json'
})

console.log(res.body.first)

See the phin documentation.

phin has util.promisify support. The promisified library can also be accessed with require('phin').promisified!

phin is super lightweight, and it's getting lighter all the time.

It contains all of the common HTTP client features included in competing libraries!
