reqwest

Ergonomic HTTP client for Rust, built on hyper and tokio.

What it is

reqwest is the standard HTTP client for Rust. It provides a high-level async API for HTTP and HTTPS requests, with support for JSON request and response bodies via serde, multipart forms, streaming bodies, cookies, redirects, and connection pooling. A blocking API is also available.

Why it is commonly used

The default choice for making HTTP requests in Rust — REST API clients, webhooks, web scrapers, download utilities, health checks, and any code that needs to talk HTTP to an external service.
