HTTP client for Elixir, based on ibrowse. Continues the HTTPun tradition of HTTParty, HTTPretty and HTTPie.
iex> HTTPotion.start
iex> HTTPotion.get "http://localhost:4000"
HTTPotion.Response[body: "...", headers: [{:Connection,"Keep-Alive"}...], status_code: 200]
iex> HTTPotion.get "http://localhost:1"
** (HTTPotion.HTTPError) econnrefusedYou can also extend it to make cool API clients or something (this example uses jsx for JSON):
defmodule GitHub do
use HTTPotion.Base
def process_url(url) do
"https://api.github.com" <> url
end
def process_response_body(body) do
json = :jsx.decode to_binary(body)
json2 = Enum.map json, fn ({k, v}) -> { binary_to_atom(k), v } end
:orddict.from_list json2
end
end
iex> GitHub.start
iex> GitHub.get("users/myfreeweb").body[:public_repos]
37And now with async!
iex> HTTPotion.get "http://floatboth.com", [], [stream_to: self]
HTTPotion.AsyncResponse[id: {1372,8757,656584}]
iex> flush()
