node-fetch

A light-weight module that brings the standard Window.fetch API to the Node.js runtime.

Node-fetch bridges the gap between browser-based environments and server-side JavaScript by implementing the Fetch Spec (RFC 7616) for Node.js. It replaces older, heavier dependencies like Request or Axios for developers who prefer native-standard syntax. Version 3.0 transitioned to a native ESM package, ensuring high performance and minimal overhead while handling streams, redirects, and buffers. It remains the industry standard for consistent HTTP requests across the stack, boasting over 30 million weekly downloads on npm.
