requests

created by Austin Poor

A quick and easy HTTP request library written in Go.

This library is inspired by the Python Requests library. I wrote it for myself in order to make the HTTP client process a little more ergonomic when writing Go code.

Check out some more examples and documentation here: a-poor.github.io/requests

Installation

Quick Start

Here's a quick example of requests in action.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/a-poor/requests"
)

func main() {
    // Send the request
    res, err := requests.SendGetRequest("https://google.com")

    // If there was an error, print and return
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error: %e\n", err)
        return
    }

    // Print the response's status code
    fmt.Printf("Status Code: %d\n", res.StatusCode)

}

Dependencies

Only the standard library!
