@gianmarcov/request-multiple-urls v0.3.0

Request Multiple Urls

A library that downloads (json) data from multiple urls and outputs it.

You can find the npm package here

Installation

npm install @gianmarcov/request-multiple-urls

Usage

'use strict';

const requestMultipleUrls = require('@gianmarcov/request-multiple-urls');

const urls = [
    'https://ft-tech-test-example.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ftse-fsi.json',
    'https://ft-tech-test-example.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/gbp-hkd.json',
    'https://ft-tech-test-example.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/gbp-usd.json'
];

requestMultipleUrls(urls).then(urlContent => {
    urlContent.forEach(element => {
        console.log(element.data.items) // e.g. can access the json result...
    });
});

Tests

npm test

Notes

The library was built using NodeJS and Axios, as a client for the HTTP GET requests towards given urls. By default, the response provided reads JSON files and contents. Although the library can read any kind of downladable content, further development is needed to optimize response outputting (e.g. base64 binary conversion for images and so on). As is, the library is only able to proxy GET requests and retrieve data.
