HTTP Client

Overview​

Darklang is designed for interacting with 3rd party APIs over HTTP. The HttpClient:: module has a set of functions for calling out to other HTTP services and APIs.

HttpClient​

HttpClient:: supports the core verbs: GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, and DELETE, as well as OPTIONS. Each takes 3-4 parameters: uri, query, body, and header. GET, DELETE, and OPTIONS do not take a body.

HttpClientPost

There are built-in header functions for commonly used headers, including for authentication (HttpClient::basicAuth and HttpClient::BearerToken) and content types for plain text, JSON, HTML, and forms. Headers are dictionaries; to combine two headers, use Dict::merge.
