How can we make a HTTP request like this in NodeJS? Example or module appreciated.
curl https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"}'
Mikeal's request module can do this easily:
var request = require('request');
var options = {
uri: 'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url',
method: 'POST',
json: {
"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"
}
};
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body.id) // Print the shortened url.
}
});
