reqlib

reqlib is a Node.js library that simplifies REST API requests with built-in retry, redirect following, and timeout handling. The current stable version is 1.0.13, though the package is no longer actively maintained (last update in 2019). It wraps Node's native http/https modules with a promise-based Request class, offering methods like get, post, put, delete, patch, and head. Unlike popular alternatives like axios or node-fetch, reqlib is specialized for REST consumers with configurable retry on 5xx errors and redirect limits.
