The Best Ruby HTTP clients for 2021

• httpx

  4 - -

See the spreadsheet linked above, and my response to it. tl;dr there is, httpx.

• Typhoeus

  2 4,060 0.0 Ruby

  Typhoeus wraps libcurl in order to make fast and reliable requests.

  

Have you had a play with typhoeus by any chance? It's a wrapper over libcurl, so you get OS threads for free - which is kind of nice.

• HTTP

  6 2,988 5.8 Ruby

  HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts

  

I actually like HTTP.rb's API more, but they still can't make a decision about "base URL" API, which is quite valuable for API wrappers, e.g. @client = HTTPLibrary.new('https://api.base.com/v2/') and then @client.get('/foo').

• Http Client

  3 698 4.1 Ruby

  'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.

I also don't know why these comparisons never include one of my favorites, HTTPClient. Although it's got some issues (pun intended) in it's maintenance/unclosed issues. :(
