HTTPoison
Yet Another HTTP client for Elixir powered by hackney
HTTP client for Elixir, based on HTTPotion. HTTPoison uses hackney to execute HTTP requests instead of ibrowse. Using hackney we work only with binaries instead of string lists. First, add HTTPoison to your mix.exs dependencies. Add :httpoison to your applications list if your Elixir version is 1.3 or lower. You can also easily pattern match on the HTTPoison.Response struct. There are a number of supported options(not to be confused with the HTTP options method), documented here, that can be added to your request. The example below shows the use of the :ssl and :recv_timeout options for a post request to an api that requires a bearer token. The :ssl option allows you to set options accepted by the Erlang SSL module, and :recv_timeout sets a timeout on receiving a response, the default is 5000ms.
