send Content-Type: application/json post with node.js
Mikeal's request module can do this easily:
var request = require('request');
var options = {
uri: 'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url',
method: 'POST',
json: {
"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"
}
};
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body.id) // Print the shortened url.
}
});
Simple Example
var request = require('request');
//Custom Header pass
var headersOpt = {
"content-type": "application/json",
};
request(
{
method:'post',
url:'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url',
form: {name:'hello',age:25},
headers: headersOpt,
json: true,
}, function (error, response, body) {
//Print the Response
console.log(body);
});
