@actions/http-client

A lightweight HTTP client optimized for building actions.

Features

  • HTTP client with TypeScript generics and async/await/Promises

  • Proxy support just works with actions and the runner
  • Targets ES2019 (runner runs actions with node 12+). Only supported on node 12+.
  • Basic, Bearer and PAT Support out of the box. Extensible handlers for others.
  • Redirects supported

Features and releases here

Install

npm install @actions/http-client --save

Samples

See the tests for detailed examples.

Errors

HTTP

The HTTP client does not throw unless truly exceptional.

  • A request that successfully executes resulting in a 404, 500 etc... will return a response object with a status code and a body.
  • Redirects (3xx) will be followed by default.

See the tests for detailed examples.

Debugging

To enable detailed console logging of all HTTP requests and responses, set the NODE_DEBUG environment varible:

export NODE_DEBUG=http

Node support

The http-client is built using the latest LTS version of Node 12. It may work on previous node LTS versions but it's tested and officially supported on Node12+.

Support and Versioning

We follow semver and will hold compatibility between major versions and increment the minor version with new features and capabilities (while holding compat).
