Changes

v6.3.0...v6.5.0

6.3.0

followRedirect option

This option disables following redirects and got will not treat them as errors:

const res = await got(`google.com`, {followRedirect: false});
res.statusCode === 302; // true

By default this option is true, so no major changes in code are needed.

Changes

v6.2.0...v6.3.0

6.2.0

• 26a499c statusCode and statusMessage added to ParseError object

6.1.0

Non-retrieable errors

In got@5 we introduced retries option, which (as name says) retry request on every Error. For most errors this was right thing to do, but in case ENETUNREACH and ENOTFOUND retries are pointless.

This version removes retries from such errors, so you will get instant error, when typo gets into configs.

Changes

v6.0.0...v6.1.0

5.3.1

Aiming on Node.js 4

This release drops Node.js 0.10/0.12 support, so we replaced lots of modules and reduce dependency tree more than twice (see PR overview). Module folder size reduced from 1.1 MB to 216 KB.

For older Node.js versions we will still maintain v5.x for critical bug-fixes.

Promises by default

Callback interface was replaced by Promises, because it is a better way to work with asynchronous operations and they can be used with yield/await nicely.

If you use callback before:

got('todomvc.com', (err, body) => {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        return;
    }

    console.log(body);
});

You can rewrite it this way:

got('todomvc.com')
    .then(res => {
        console.log(res.body);
    })
    .catch(err => {
        console.log(err);
    });

You can read more about Promises in "ECMAScript 6 promises (2/2): the API" post and some caveats in "We have a problem with promises".

Update

$ npm install --save got@6

// Constant delay of 10ms for 5 iterations
got('google.com', {
    retries: iter => iter < 5 && 10
});

got('google.com', {
    retries: () => 10
});
