Top 23 Ruby HTTP Projects

HTTP

  1. Faraday

    Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for multiple backends.

    Project mention: PEClient.rb - The Puppet API Ruby Client Library | dev.to | 2026-01-29

    Why not leave the finer details of how to talk to APIs to a library that can take that off your hands? Built using Faraday, the PEClient library requests and responses use Plain Old Ruby Objects (PORO), no special Structs, and no custom objects to force your data into. PEClient.rb allows you to write API calls in the most natural way we know how... with Ruby!

  2. AppSignal

    Monitoring that respects your time & budget. APM, error tracking, and dashboards for modern web apps. Ten-minute setup, transparent flat pricing, and support from engineers who actually use the product.
