io

io is a simple Node.js HTTP wrapper for API calls.

Methods supported are...

const io = require('io');

io.request(method, url, queryParams = {}, headers = null, body = null);
io.get(url, authorization = null, headers = null, queryParams = {});
io.del(url, authorization = null, headers = null, queryParams = {});
io.post(url, authorization = null, headers = null, params = {});
io.put(url, authorization = null, headers = null, params = {});

All requests return a Promise and can be run synchronously using await.

let result = await io.request(method, url, queryParams = {}, headers = null, body = null);

request

The request method takes a raw body string and sends no content-type by default.

It returns a result with the following schema;

{
  "statusCode": 200,
  "headers": {},
  "body": ""
}

get, del

The get and del methods will populate the URL querystring with x-www-urlencoded values based on a queryParams object. They will send a content-type: application/json header by default.

The authorization parameter will set the authorization HTTP header. If this value begins with the strings Basic or Bearer , the full value will be used. Otherwise, Bearer will be prepended. Sending authorization = "x", for example, will populate the authorization header with a value of Bearer x.

NOTE: If the requested resource does not return JSON data, an error will be thrown.

They return a result with the following schema;

{
  "statusCode": 200,
  "headers": {},
  "data": {}
}

post, put

The post and put methods will populate the post body with application/json values based on a params object. They will send a content-type: application/json header by default.

The authorization parameter will set the authorization HTTP header. If this value begins with the strings Basic or Bearer , the full value will be used. Otherwise, Bearer will be prepended. Sending authorization = "x", for example, will populate the authorization header with a value of Bearer x.

NOTE: If the requested resource does not return JSON data, an error will be thrown.

They return a result with the following schema;

{
  "statusCode": 200,
  "headers": {},
  "data": {}
}
