verified Jun 7, 2026

A lightweight module that brings the window.fetch API to Electron's background (main) process, where the native fetch is not available. Version 1.9.1 is the latest stable release. It supports Node.js >=6 and includes TypeScript definitions. Key differentiators: uses Node's http/https modules (not browser fetch), supports stream responses like blob, and handles Electron-specific features like proxy and session. Alternatives like node-fetch lack Electron session support.
