Install

npm:

npm install superagent

yarn:

yarn add superagent

Usage

Node

const superagent = require('superagent');

// callback
superagent
  .post('/api/pet')
  .send({ name: 'Manny', species: 'cat' }) // sends a JSON post body
  .set('X-API-Key', 'foobar')
  .set('accept', 'json')
  .end((err, res) => {
    // Calling the end function will send the request
  });

// promise with then/catch
superagent.post('/api/pet').then(console.log).catch(console.error);

// promise with async/await
(async () => {
  try {
    const res = await superagent.post('/api/pet');
    console.log(res);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
})();

Browser

The browser-ready, minified version of superagent is only 6 KB (minified and gzipped)!

Browser-ready versions of this module are available via jsdelivr, unpkg, and also in the node_modules/superagent/dist folder in downloads of the superagent package.

Note that we also provide unminified versions with .js instead of .min.js file extensions.

VanillaJS

This is the solution for you if you're just using <script> tags everywhere!

<script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=Array.from,Promise,Symbol,Object.setPrototypeOf,Object.getOwnPropertySymbols"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/superagent"></script>
<!-- if you wish to use unpkg.com instead: -->
<!-- <script src="https://unpkg.com/superagent"></script> -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  (function() {
    // superagent is exposed as `window.superagent`
    // if you wish to use "request" instead please
    // uncomment the following line of code:
    // `window.request = superagent;`
    superagent
      .post('/api/pet')
      .send({ name: 'Manny', species: 'cat' }) // sends a JSON post body
      .set('X-API-Key', 'foobar')
      .set('accept', 'json')
      .end(function (err, res) {
        // Calling the end function will send the request
      });
  })();
</script>

Bundler

If you are using browserify, webpack, rollup, or another bundler, then you can follow the same usage as Node above.

Supported Platforms

• Node: v6.x+

• Browsers (see .browserslistrc):

Required Browser Features

We recommend using https://polyfill.io (specifically with the bundle mentioned in VanillaJS above):

<script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=Array.from,Promise,Symbol,Object.setPrototypeOf,Object.getOwnPropertySymbols"></script>

• IE 9-10 requires a polyfill for Promise, Array.from, Symbol, Object.getOwnPropertySymbols, and Object.setPrototypeOf
• IE 9 requires a polyfill for window.FormData (we recommend formdata-polyfill)

Plugins

SuperAgent is easily extended via plugins.

const nocache = require('superagent-no-cache');
const superagent = require('superagent');
const prefix = require('superagent-prefix')('/static');

superagent
  .get('/some-url')
  .query({ action: 'edit', city: 'London' }) // query string
  .use(prefix) // Prefixes *only* this request
  .use(nocache) // Prevents caching of *only* this request
  .end((err, res) => {
    // Do something
  });

Existing plugins:

• superagent-no-cache - prevents caching by including Cache-Control header
• superagent-prefix - prefixes absolute URLs (useful in test environment)
• superagent-suffix - suffix URLs with a given path
• superagent-mock - simulate HTTP calls by returning data fixtures based on the requested URL
• superagent-mocker — simulate REST API
• superagent-cache - A global SuperAgent patch with built-in, flexible caching
• superagent-cache-plugin - A SuperAgent plugin with built-in, flexible caching
• superagent-jsonapify - A lightweight json-api client addon for superagent
• superagent-serializer - Converts server payload into different cases
• superagent-httpbackend - stub out requests using AngularJS' $httpBackend syntax
• superagent-throttle - queues and intelligently throttles requests
• superagent-charset - add charset support for node's SuperAgent
• superagent-verbose-errors - include response body in error messages for failed requests
• superagent-declare - A simple declarative API for SuperAgent
• superagent-node-http-timings - measure http timings in node.js

Please prefix your plugin with superagent-* so that it can easily be found by others.

For SuperAgent extensions such as couchdb and oauth visit the wiki.

Upgrading from previous versions

Our breaking changes are mostly in rarely used functionality and from stricter error handling.

• 4.x to 5.x:
  • We've implemented the build setup of Lass to simplify our stack and linting
  • Unminified browserified build size has been reduced from 48KB to 20KB (via tinyify and the latest version of Babel using @babel/preset-env and .browserslistrc)
  • Linting support has been added using caniuse-lite and eslint-plugin-compat
  • We can now target what versions of Node we wish to support more easily using .babelrc
• 3.x to 4.x:
  • Ensure you're running Node 6 or later. We've dropped support for Node 4.
  • We've started using ES6 and for compatibility with Internet Explorer you may need to use Babel.
  • We suggest migrating from .end() callbacks to .then() or await.
• 2.x to 3.x:
  • Ensure you're running Node 4 or later. We've dropped support for Node 0.x.
  • Test code that calls .send() multiple times. Invalid calls to .send() will now throw instead of sending garbage.
• 1.x to 2.x:
  • If you use .parse() in the browser version, rename it to .serialize().
  • If you rely on undefined in query-string values being sent literally as the text "undefined", switch to checking for missing value instead. ?key=undefined is now ?key (without a value).
  • If you use .then() in Internet Explorer, ensure that you have a polyfill that adds a global Promise object.
• 0.x to 1.x:
  • Instead of 1-argument callback .end(function(res){}) use .then(res => {}).
