request.js

Send parameterized requests to GitHub’s APIs with sensible defaults in browsers and Node

@octokit/request is a request library for browsers & node that makes it easier to interact with GitHub’s REST API and GitHub’s GraphQL API.

It uses @octokit/endpoint to parse the passed options and sends the request using fetch (node-fetch in Node).

Features

🤩 1:1 mapping of REST API endpoint documentation, e.g. Add labels to an issue becomes

request("POST /repos/:owner/:repo/issues/:number/labels", {
  mediaType: {
    previews: ["symmetra"],
  },
  owner: "octokit",
  repo: "request.js",
  number: 1,
  labels: ["🐛 bug"],
});

👶 Small bundle size (<4kb minified + gzipped)

😎 Authenticate with any of GitHubs Authentication Strategies.

👍 Sensible defaults

• baseUrl: https://api.github.com
• headers.accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json
• headers.agent: octokit-request.js/<current version> <OS information>, e.g. octokit-request.js/1.2.3 Node.js/10.15.0 (macOS Mojave; x64)

👌 Simple to test: mock requests by passing a custom fetch method.

🧐 Simple to debug: Sets error.request to request options causing the error (with redacted credentials).

Usage

Browsers	Load @octokit/request directly from cdn.pika.dev <script type="module"> import { request } from "https://cdn.pika.dev/@octokit/request"; </script>
Node	Install with npm install @octokit/request const { request } = require("@octokit/request"); // or: import { request } from "@octokit/request";

REST API example

// Following GitHub docs formatting:
// https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-organization-repositories
const result = await request("GET /orgs/:org/repos", {
  headers: {
    authorization: "token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001",
  },
  org: "octokit",
  type: "private",
});

console.log(`${result.data.length} repos found.`);

GraphQL example

For GraphQL request we recommend using @octokit/graphql

const result = await request("POST /graphql", {
  headers: {
    authorization: "token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001",
  },
  query: `query ($login: String!) {
    organization(login: $login) {
      repositories(privacy: PRIVATE) {
        totalCount
      }
    }
  }`,
  variables: {
    login: "octokit",
  },
});

Alternative: pass method & url as part of options

Alternatively, pass in a method and a url

const result = await request({
  method: "GET",
  url: "/orgs/:org/repos",
  headers: {
    authorization: "token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001",
  },
  org: "octokit",
  type: "private",
});

Authentication

The simplest way to authenticate a request is to set the Authorization header directly, e.g. to a personal access token.

const requestWithAuth = request.defaults({
  headers: {
    authorization: "token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001",
  },
});
const result = await requestWithAuth("GET /user");

For more complex authentication strategies such as GitHub Apps or Basic, we recommend the according authentication library exported by @octokit/auth.

const { createAppAuth } = require("@octokit/auth-app");
const auth = createAppAuth({
  id: process.env.APP_ID,
  privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY,
  installationId: 123,
});
const requestWithAuth = request.defaults({
  request: {
    hook: auth.hook,
  },
  mediaType: {
    previews: ["machine-man"],
  },
});

const { data: app } = await requestWithAuth("GET /app");
const { data: app } = await requestWithAuth("POST /repos/:owner/:repo/issues", {
  owner: "octocat",
  repo: "hello-world",
  title: "Hello from the engine room",
});

request()

request(route, options) or request(options).

Options

name	type	description
route	String	If route is set it has to be a string consisting of the request method and URL, e.g. GET /orgs/:org
options.baseUrl	String	Required. Any supported http verb, case insensitive. Defaults to https://api.github.com.
options.headers	Object	Custom headers. Passed headers are merged with defaults: headers['user-agent'] defaults to octokit-rest.js/1.2.3 (where 1.2.3 is the released version). headers['accept'] defaults to application/vnd.github.v3+json. Use options.mediaType.{format,previews} to request API previews and custom media types.
options.mediaType.format	String	Media type param, such as `raw`, `html`, or `full`. See Media Types.
options.mediaType.previews	Array of strings	Name of previews, such as `mercy`, `symmetra`, or `scarlet-witch`. See API Previews.
options.method	String	Required. Any supported http verb, case insensitive. Defaults to Get.
options.url	String	Required. A path or full URL which may contain :variable or {variable} placeholders, e.g. /orgs/:org/repos. The url is parsed using url-template.
options.data	Any	Set request body directly instead of setting it to JSON based on additional parameters. See "The `data` parameter" below.
options.request.agent	http(s).Agent instance	Node only. Useful for custom proxy, certificate, or dns lookup.
options.request.fetch	Function	Custom replacement for built-in fetch method. Useful for testing or request hooks.
options.request.hook	Function	Function with the signature hook(request, endpointOptions), where endpointOptions are the parsed options as returned by endpoint.merge(), and request is request(). This option works great in conjuction with before-after-hook.
options.request.signal	new AbortController().signal	Use an AbortController instance to cancel a request. In node you can only cancel streamed requests.
options.request.timeout	Number	Node only. Request/response timeout in ms, it resets on redirect. 0 to disable (OS limit applies). options.request.signal is recommended instead.

All other options except options.request.* will be passed depending on the method and url options.

1. If the option key is a placeholder in the url, it will be used as replacement. For example, if the passed options are {url: '/orgs/:org/repos', org: 'foo'} the returned options.url is https://api.github.com/orgs/foo/repos
2. If the method is GET or HEAD, the option is passed as query parameter
3. Otherwise the parameter is passed in the request body as JSON key.

Result

request returns a promise and resolves with 4 keys

key	type	description
status	Integer	Response status status
url	String	URL of response. If a request results in redirects, this is the final URL. You can send a HEAD request to retrieve it without loading the full response body.
headers	Object	All response headers
data	Any	The response body as returned from server. If the response is JSON then it will be parsed into an object

If an error occurs, the error instance has additional properties to help with debugging

• error.status The http response status code
• error.headers The http response headers as an object
• error.request The request options such as method, url and data

request.defaults()

Override or set default options. Example:

const myrequest = require("@octokit/request").defaults({
  baseUrl: "https://github-enterprise.acme-inc.com/api/v3",
  headers: {
    "user-agent": "myApp/1.2.3",
    authorization: `token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001`,
  },
  org: "my-project",
  per_page: 100,
});

myrequest(`GET /orgs/:org/repos`);

You can call .defaults() again on the returned method, the defaults will cascade.

const myProjectRequest = request.defaults({
  baseUrl: "https://github-enterprise.acme-inc.com/api/v3",
  headers: {
    "user-agent": "myApp/1.2.3",
  },
  org: "my-project",
});
const myProjectRequestWithAuth = myProjectRequest.defaults({
  headers: {
    authorization: `token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001`,
  },
});

myProjectRequest now defaults the baseUrl, headers['user-agent'], org and headers['authorization'] on top of headers['accept'] that is set by the global default.

request.endpoint

See https://github.com/octokit/endpoint.js. Example

const options = request.endpoint("GET /orgs/:org/repos", {
  org: "my-project",
  type: "private",
});

// {
//   method: 'GET',
//   url: 'https://api.github.com/orgs/my-project/repos?type=private',
//   headers: {
//     accept: 'application/vnd.github.v3+json',
//     authorization: 'token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001',
//     'user-agent': 'octokit/endpoint.js v1.2.3'
//   }
// }

All of the @octokit/endpoint API can be used:

• octokitRequest.endpoint()
• octokitRequest.endpoint.defaults()
• octokitRequest.endpoint.merge()
• octokitRequest.endpoint.parse()

Special cases

The data parameter – set request body directly

Some endpoints such as Render a Markdown document in raw mode don’t have parameters that are sent as request body keys, instead the request body needs to be set directly. In these cases, set the data parameter.

const response = await request("POST /markdown/raw", {
  data: "Hello world github/linguist#1 **cool**, and #1!",
  headers: {
    accept: "text/html;charset=utf-8",
    "content-type": "text/plain",
  },
});

// Request is sent as
//
//     {
//       method: 'post',
//       url: 'https://api.github.com/markdown/raw',
//       headers: {
//         accept: 'text/html;charset=utf-8',
//         'content-type': 'text/plain',
//         'user-agent': userAgent
//       },
//       body: 'Hello world github/linguist#1 **cool**, and #1!'
//     }
//
// not as
//
//     {
//       ...
//       body: '{"data": "Hello world github/linguist#1 **cool**, and #1!"}'
//     }

Set parameters for both the URL/query and the request body

There are API endpoints that accept both query parameters as well as a body. In that case you need to add the query parameters as templates to options.url, as defined in the RFC 6570 URI Template specification.

Example

request(
  "POST https://uploads.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/releases/1/assets{?name,label}",
  {
    name: "example.zip",
    label: "short description",
    headers: {
      "content-type": "text/plain",
      "content-length": 14,
      authorization: `token 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001`,
    },
    data: "Hello, world!",
  }
);
