Node Fetch

A light-weight module that brings Fetch API to Node.js.

Features

• Stay consistent with window.fetch API.
• Make conscious trade-off when following WHATWG fetch spec and stream spec implementation details, document known differences.
• Use native promise, but allow substituting it with [insert your favorite promise library].
• Use native Node streams for body, on both request and response.
• Decode content encoding (gzip/deflate) properly, and convert string output (such as res.text() and res.json()) to - UTF-8 automatically.
• Useful extensions such as timeout, redirect limit, response size limit, explicit errors for troubleshooting.

Why do we need your help?

Here is the module in numbers:

• over 20 million downloads per week on npm
• nearly 20k dependents
• over 6k stars on GitHub

Maintaining an open-source project that widely used is not easy. Financial support will help us stay motivated and continue to improve the project with each and new release!
