Issues an HTTP request with the given method to the given url.

This function is usually used indirectly by get/3, post/4, put/4, etc

Args:

  • method - HTTP method as an atom (:get, :head, :post, :put, :delete, etc.)
  • url - target url as a binary string or char list
  • body - request body. See more below
  • headers - HTTP headers as an orddict (e.g., [{"Accept", "application/json"}])
  • options - Keyword list of options

Body:

  • binary, char list or an iolist
  • {:form, [{K, V}, ...]} - send a form url encoded
  • {:file, "/path/to/file"} - send a file

Options:

  • :timeout - timeout to establish a connection, in milliseconds. Default is 8000
  • :recv_timeout - timeout used when receiving a connection. Default is 5000
  • :stream_to - a PID to stream the response to
  • :proxy - a proxy to be used for the request; it can be a regular url or a {Host, Proxy} tuple
  • :proxy_auth - proxy authentication {User, Password} tuple
  • :ssl - SSL options supported by the ssl erlang module
  • :follow_redirect - a boolean that causes redirects to be followed
  • :max_redirect - an integer denoting the maximum number of redirects to follow
  • :params - an enumerable consisting of two-item tuples that will be appended to the url as query string parameters

Timeouts can be an integer or :infinity

This function returns {:ok, response} or {:ok, async_response} if the request is successful, {:error, reason} otherwise.

Examples

request(:post, "https://my.website.com", "{\"foo\": 3}", [{"Accept", "application/json"}])
Link to this function request!(method, url, body \\ "", headers \\ [], options \\ []) View Source
request!(atom(), binary(), body(), headers(), Keyword.t()) :: HTTPoison.Response.t()

Issues an HTTP request with the given method to the given url, raising an exception in case of failure.

request!/5 works exactly like request/5 but it returns just the response in case of a successful request, raising an exception in case the request fails.
