How do you make HTTP requests with Raku? I'm looking for the equivalent of this Python code:
import requests headers = {"User-Agent": "python"} url = "http://example.com/" payload = {"hello": "world"} res = requests.get(url, headers=headers) res = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload) You may want to try out the recent HTTP::Tiny module.
use HTTP::Tiny; my $response = HTTP::Tiny.new.get( 'https://example.com/' ); say $response<content>.decode 
HTTP::UserAgent. I added another related question here, because the responses from them are producing unexpected results when I convert the responses from JSON. stackoverflow.com/questions/65014105/…After searching around a bit, I found an answer in the Cro docs.
use Cro::HTTP::Client; my $resp = await Cro::HTTP::Client.get('https://api.github.com/'); my $body = await $resp.body; # `$body` is a hash say $body; There's more information on headers and POST requests in the link.
I want to contribute a little more. There is a fantastic module named WWW. It's very convenient to make 'gets' that receive json because it can be parsed automagically.
In their example:
use WWW; my $response = jget('https://httpbin.org/get?foo=42&bar=x'); You can examine the objects using the basic functionalities of arrays and hashes, for example to extract the values of my response you can use:
$response<object_you_want_of_json><other_nested_object>[1]<the_last_level> Here the number [1] are a nested list inside a hash, and the properties are the same. Welcome to the raku community !!!
zef install WWW it asks for my Github username and password in the terminal, which makes me a little nervous. Should it be doing that when I install packages with zef?
zef install WWW and have raised an [issue][1] [1]: github.com/raku-community-modules/WWW/issues/19
