HttpRequestApp

Fluent interface for Google Apps Script Url Fetch Service, to simplify HttpRequest building and 3rd party API integrations.

UrlFetchApp:

var options = {
  'method' : 'post',
  'header' : {
    'token' : 'xxx'
  }
  'contentType': 'application/json',
  'payload' : JSON.stringify(data)
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://httpbin.org/post?key=yyy', options);

HttpRequestApp:

var response = HttpRequestApp.newRequest('https://httpbin.org/post')
                .setMethod('post')
                .setHeader('token', 'xxx')
                .addParam('key', 'yyy')
                .setContentType('application/json')
                .setPayload(JSON.stringify(data))
                .fetch()

There is an open feature request to include it as a native feature in the URL Fetch Service. Please start this issue if you think it makes sense.
