Example

This asynchronous example uses Tokio and enables some optional features, so your Cargo.toml could look like this:

[dependencies]
reqwest = { version = "0.10", features = ["json"] }
tokio = { version = "0.2", features = ["full"] }

And then the code:

use std::collections::HashMap;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let resp = reqwest::get("https://httpbin.org/ip")
        .await?
        .json::<HashMap<String, String>>()
        .await?;
    println!("{:#?}", resp);
    Ok(())
}

Blocking Client

There is an optional "blocking" client API that can be enabled:

[dependencies]
reqwest = { version = "0.10", features = ["blocking", "json"] }
use std::collections::HashMap;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let resp = reqwest::blocking::get("https://httpbin.org/ip")?
        .json::<HashMap<String, String>>()?;
    println!("{:#?}", resp);
    Ok(())
}

Requirements

On Linux:

On Windows and macOS:

  • Nothing.

Reqwest uses rust-native-tls, which will use the operating system TLS framework if available, meaning Windows and macOS. On Linux, it will use OpenSSL 1.1.
