reqwest

An ergonomic, batteries-included HTTP Client for Rust.

• Plain bodies, JSON, urlencoded, multipart
• Customizable redirect policy
• HTTP Proxies
• HTTPS via system-native TLS (or optionally, rustls)
• Cookie Store
• WASM
• Changelog

Example

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

[dependencies]
reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
tokio = { version = "1", 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 = "0.11", 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:

• OpenSSL with headers. See https://docs.rs/openssl for supported versions and more details. Alternatively you can enable the native-tls-vendored feature to compile a copy of OpenSSL.

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 the available OpenSSL or fail to build if not found.
