Documentation

ureq

Minimal request library in rust.

Usage

// requires feature: `ureq = { version = "*", features = ["json"] }`
#[macro_use]
extern crate ureq;

fn main() {

    // sync post request of some json.
    let resp = ureq::post("https://myapi.acme.com/ingest")
        .set("X-My-Header", "Secret")
        .send_json(json!({
            "name": "martin",
            "rust": true
        }));

    // .ok() tells if response is 200-299.
    if resp.ok() {
        // ...
    }
}

Features

To enable a minimal dependency tree, some features are off by default. You can control them when including ureq as a dependency.

    ureq = { version = "*", features = ["json", "charset"] }
  • tls enables https. This is enabled by default.
  • json enables response.into_json() and request.send_json() serde json.
  • charset enables interpreting the charset part of Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1. Without this, the library defaults to rust's built in utf-8.

Motivation

  • Minimal dependency tree
  • Obvious API

This library tries to provide a convenient request library with a minimal dependency tree and an obvious API. It is inspired by libraries like superagent and fetch API.

Sync (for now)

This library uses blocking socket reads and writes, for now. The async story in rust is in heavy development and when used currently pulls in a heavy dependency tree (tokio etc). Once more async support is in rust core and won't drag those dependencies, this library might change.
