Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

hmmfetch

v1.1.0

Published

A simple wrapper around fetch() that adds believable, randomized headers

Readme

🤔 hmmfetch

npm version Build Status CodeQL Node.js Version

A minimalist wrapper around fetch() that adds believable, randomized headers.

Installation

npm install hmmfetch

Usage

// Import the library
const hmmfetch = require('hmmfetch');

// Use it like normal fetch
hmmfetch('https://example.com')
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(data => console.log(data));

Custom Headers

You can also pass options just like with regular fetch. Your custom headers will override the default ones.

hmmfetch('https://example.com', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    // This will override the default accept header
    'accept': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' })
})

Header Options

The library automatically randomizes headers with each request. You can customize the randomization:

// Customize the browser profile
hmmfetch('https://example.com', {}, {
  // Use a specific browser profile
  browser: 'firefox',
  
  // Specify OS
  os: 'windows',
  
  // Set language
  language: 'fr-FR,fr;q=0.9'
})

Generate Headers Without Fetching

You can also generate headers without making a request:

const { generateHeaders } = require('hmmfetch');

// Generate random headers
const headers = generateHeaders();

// Or with specific options
const chromeHeaders = generateHeaders({ 
  browser: 'chrome',
  os: 'mac',
  language: 'en-US,en;q=0.9'
});

console.log(chromeHeaders);
