Alternatives to request

Its maintainers have deprecated it: no fix is coming, so the next advisory stays open. Here is what they and the community point to instead.

Deprecated by its maintainers

request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

The message names no replacement, and the e18e list has no entry for request yet.

Before you switch

  1. 1

    Check what else depends on it

    Paste your package.json in the dependency check to see every deprecated or outdated package in one pass, not only this one.

  2. 2

    Read the replacement's peers and releases

    A native API or a few lines of code need no release notes, but check the Node version your project runs on.

  3. 3

    Know when it ships

    Follow the new package on Inlinr: its releases and advisories land in your feed, and the time spent on the migration branch shows on its page.
