A simple library, written in rust for sending GET/POST requests, included with an async file downloader. Intended for mostly small projects which need to make quick GET/POST requests or download files.
src/main.rs is for the manual tests I did while coding the src/lib.rs
This repository will be used in an even larger upcoming project of mine
https://crates.io/crates/requests_rs
Update v0.1.7
Added a new xml file parser (work in progress.)
Functions
sync_get
Test function which sends a synchronous get request to any api and returns a response object which can be then parsed into json
Recommended to use the requests_rs::requests::api_referencer::get_and_save_json
function instead of this.
get_and_save_json
Sends a get request to an api ,parses the json response and returns the json object
Example 1
use requests_rs::requests::api_referencer::get_and_save_json;
get_and_save_json("https://api-url.com", true, false).expect("Some error message!")
Having save=true
will parse the json value and save it to a json file.
Having silent_mode=false
will pretty-print out the json response(Useful for debugging purposes?).
This function is asynchrounous so many get requests can be sent at a time.
get_and_save_xml
Sends a get request to an xml file url and then returns it as a string.
Example 1
use requests_rs::requests::api_referencer::get_and_save_xml;
let xml_data = get_and_save_xml("https://xml-url.com").expect("Some error message!");
println!("{}", xml_data);
print_and_post_json
Sends a POST request to any api and returns the response json object
Example 1
use requests_rs::requests::api_referencer::print_and_post_json;
print_and_post_json("https://api-url.com", "path/to/json_file", true)
If silent_mode is set to true then the function will silently send a POST request and return the response json object
If set to false then the function will send a POST request and pretty print out the response json, alongside returning > it as a value as well
async_download_file
Downloads any file asynchronously
use requests_rs::requests::file_downloader::async_download_file;
async_download_file("https://download-the-file.exe", "your_download_path").expect("Some error message")
