reqwest

crates.io Documentation MIT/Apache-2 licensed CI

An ergonomic, batteries-included HTTP Client for Rust.

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

Example

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

[dependencies]
reqwest = { version = "0.13", 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(())
}

Requirements

By default, Reqwest uses rustls, but when the native-tls feature is enabled it will use the operating system TLS framework if available, meaning Windows and macOS. On Linux, it will use the available OpenSSL (see https://docs.rs/openssl for supported versions and more details) or fail to build if not found. Alternatively you can enable the native-tls-vendored feature to compile a copy of OpenSSL.
