request (version 0.1.0)

http: Make a HTTP request

Description

Make a HTTP request

Usage

http(req, method = "GET")
http_client(req)

Arguments

req

A req class object

method

(character) Pick which HTTP method to use. Only GET and POST for now. Default: GET

Details

By default, a GET request is made. Will fix this soon to easily allow a different HTTP verb.

The http function makes the request and gives back the parsed result. Whereas, the http_client function makes the request, but gives back the raw R6 class object, which you can inspect all parts of, modify, etc.
