Overview

Typhoeus is a HTTP client library based on Ethon which wraps libcurl. Sitting on top of libcurl makes Typhoeus very reliable and fast.

There are some gems using Typhoeus like VCR, WebMock or Faraday. VCR and WebMock provide their own adapter whereas Faraday relies on Faraday::Adapter::Typhoeus since Typhoeus version 0.5.

Examples:

Make a request with the shortcut.

response = Typhoeus.get("www.example.com")

Simplest request.

response = Typhoeus::Request.new("www.example.com").run

Request with url parameters.

response = Typhoeus::Request.new(
  "www.example.com",
  params: {a: 1}
).run

Request with a body.

response = Typhoeus::Request.new(
  "www.example.com",
  body: {b: 2}
).run

Request with parameters and body.

response = Typhoeus::Request.new(
  "www.example.com",
  params: {a: 1},
  body: {b: 2}
).run

Create a request and allow follow redirections.

response = Typhoeus::Request.new(
  "www.example.com",
  followlocation: true
).run

Use the hydra to do multiple requests.

hydra = Typhoeus::Hydra.new
requests = (0..9).map{ Typhoeus::Request.new("www.example.com") }
requests.each{ |request| hydra.queue(request) }
hydra.run

.stub(base_url, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Typhoeus::Expectation

Stub out a specific request.

Examples:

Stub a request and get specified response.

expected = Typhoeus::Response.new
Typhoeus.stub("www.example.com").and_return(expected)

actual = Typhoeus.get("www.example.com")
expected == actual
#=> true

Stub a request and get a lazily-constructed response containing data from actual widgets that exist in the system when the stubbed request is made.

Typhoeus.stub("www.example.com/widgets") do
  actual_widgets = Widget.all
  Typhoeus::Response.new(
    :body => actual_widgets.inject([]) do |ids, widget|
      ids << widget.id
    end.join(",")
  )
end

Stub a request and get a lazily-constructed response in the format requested.

Typhoeus.stub("www.example.com") do |request|
  accept = (request.options[:headers]||{})['Accept'] || "application/json"
  format = accept.split(",").first
  body_obj = { 'things' => [ { 'id' => 'foo' } ] }

  Typhoeus::Response.new(
    :headers => {
      'Content-Type' => format
    },
    :body => SERIALIZERS[format].serialize(body_obj)
  )
end

Parameters:

  • base_url (String)

    The url to stub out.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    The options to stub out.

Returns:

def self.stub(base_url, options = {}, &block)
  expectation = Expectation.all.find{ |e| e.base_url == base_url && e.options == options }
  if expectation.nil?
    expectation = Expectation.new(base_url, options)
    Expectation.all << expectation
  end

  expectation.and_return(&block) unless block.nil?
  expectation
end

.with_connectionObject

Execute given block as if block connection is turned off. The old block connection state is restored afterwards.

Examples:

Make a real request, no matter if it’s blocked.

Typhoeus::Config.block_connection = true
Typhoeus.get("www.example.com").code
#=> raise Typhoeus::Errors::NoStub

Typhoeus.with_connection do
  Typhoeus.get("www.example.com").code
  #=> :ok
end

Parameters:

  • block (Block)

    The block to execute.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    Returns the return value of the block.
