+ # Getting Started
2
+
3
+ ## Installation
4
+
5
+ ```bash
6
+ npm install undici
7
+ ```
8
+
9
+ ## Fetch
10
+
11
+ The quickest way to get started is with `fetch`, which follows the
12
+ [Fetch Standard](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/) and works the same way as
13
+ the browser API:
14
+
15
+ ```js
16
+ import { fetch } from 'undici'
17
+
18
+ const res = await fetch('https://example.com')
19
+ const data = await res.json()
20
+ console.log(data)
21
+ ```
22
+
23
+ ### Using the Request object
24
+
25
+ undici also exports a `Request` class that follows the Fetch Standard:
26
+
27
+ ```js
28
+ import { fetch, Request } from 'undici'
29
+
30
+ const req = new Request('https://example.com', {
31
+ method: 'POST',
32
+ headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
33
+ body: JSON.stringify({ hello: 'world' })
34
+ })
35
+ const res = await fetch(req)
36
+ console.log(res.status)
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ ### Streaming the response
40
+
41
+ `res.body` is a web `ReadableStream`. Use `pipeline` from
42
+ `node:stream/promises` to stream it to a file:
43
+
44
+ ```js
45
+ import { fetch } from 'undici'
46
+ import { pipeline } from 'node:stream/promises'
47
+ import { createWriteStream } from 'node:fs'
48
+
49
+ const res = await fetch('https://example.com/large-file.zip')
50
+ await pipeline(res.body, createWriteStream('./file.zip'))
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ > Always consume or cancel the response body. In Node.js, garbage collection
54
+ > is not aggressive enough to release connections promptly, so leaving a body
55
+ > unread can cause connection leaks and stalled requests. See
56
+ > [Specification Compliance - Garbage Collection](/docs/#garbage-collection)
57
+ > for details.
58
+
59
+ For more on `fetch`, see [API Reference: Fetch](/docs/docs/api/Fetch.md).
60
+
61
+ ## Dispatchers: Connection reuse and pooling
62
+
63
+ By default, `fetch`, `request`, `stream`, and `pipeline` create a new connection
64
+ for each call. For applications that make many requests to the same origin,
65
+ this is wasteful. undici provides **dispatchers** that manage connections
66
+ internally.
67
+
68
+ ### `Agent` — for requests to multiple origins
69
+
70
+ `Agent` is the most general-purpose dispatcher. It pools connections per-origin
71
+ and is the recommended default for most applications. Use it with
72
+ `setGlobalDispatcher` to affect all undici calls globally:
73
+
74
+ ```js
75
+ import { Agent, setGlobalDispatcher, fetch } from 'undici'
76
+
77
+ const agent = new Agent({
78
+ keepAliveTimeout: 30_000,
79
+ keepAliveMaxTimeout: 600_000
80
+ })
81
+ setGlobalDispatcher(agent)
82
+
83
+ // All subsequent fetch/request/stream/pipeline calls reuse connections
84
+ const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ You can also pass a dispatcher per-request:
88
+
89
+ ```js
90
+ await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { dispatcher: agent })
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ### `Pool` — for requests to a single origin
94
+
95
+ `Pool` manages a fixed set of connections to one origin. It gives you explicit
96
+ control over concurrency:
97
+
98
+ ```js
99
+ import { Pool, request } from 'undici'
100
+
101
+ const pool = new Pool('https://api.example.com', { connections: 10 })
102
+
103
+ const { body } = await request('https://api.example.com/data', {
104
+ dispatcher: pool
105
+ })
106
+ const data = await body.json()
107
+
108
+ pool.close()
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ ### `Client` — for a single connection
112
+
113
+ `Client` maps to a single TCP connection. It supports pipelining (sending
114
+ multiple requests before responses arrive):
115
+
116
+ ```js
117
+ import { Client } from 'undici'
118
+
119
+ const client = new Client('https://api.example.com', {
120
+ pipelining: 5
121
+ })
122
+
123
+ const { body } = await client.request({ path: '/', method: 'GET' })
124
+ await body.dump()
125
+
126
+ client.close()
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ For more on dispatcher options and lifecycle, see:
130
+ - [API Reference: Agent](/docs/docs/api/Agent.md)
131
+ - [API Reference: Pool](/docs/docs/api/Pool.md)
132
+ - [API Reference: Client](/docs/docs/api/Client.md)
133
+
134
+ ## Timeouts
135
+
136
+ undici applies timeouts at two levels:
137
+
138
+ - **`headersTimeout`** — time to wait for response headers (default: 300s).
139
+ - **`bodyTimeout`** — time between consecutive body chunks (default: 300s).
140
+
141
+ Set these on the dispatcher or per-request:
142
+
143
+ ```js
144
+ import { Agent, setGlobalDispatcher } from 'undici'
145
+
146
+ const agent = new Agent({
147
+ headersTimeout: 5_000,
148
+ bodyTimeout: 30_000
149
+ })
150
+
151
+ setGlobalDispatcher(agent)
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ Timeout errors are thrown as `HeadersTimeoutError` and `BodyTimeoutError`.
155
+ See [API Reference: Errors](/docs/docs/api/Errors.md) for the full list.
156
+
157
+ ## Error handling
158
+
159
+ undici exposes structured errors via `error.code`:
160
+
161
+ ```js
162
+ import { request, errors } from 'undici'
163
+
164
+ try {
165
+ const { body } = await request('https://example.com')
166
+ await body.json()
167
+ } catch (err) {
168
+ switch (err.code) {
169
+ case 'UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT':
170
+ console.error('Connection timed out')
171
+ break
172
+ case 'UND_ERR_HEADERS_TIMEOUT':
173
+ console.error('Headers timed out')
174
+ break
175
+ case 'UND_ERR_BODY_TIMEOUT':
176
+ console.error('Body timed out')
177
+ break
178
+ case 'UND_ERR_ABORTED':
179
+ console.error('Request was aborted')
180
+ break
181
+ default:
182
+ console.error(err)
183
+ }
184
+ }
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ ### Aborting requests
188
+
189
+ ```js
190
+ import { request } from 'undici'
191
+
192
+ const ac = new AbortController()
193
+
194
+ setTimeout(() => ac.abort(), 1000)
195
+
196
+ try {
197
+ const { body } = await request('https://example.com', {
198
+ signal: ac.signal
199
+ })
200
+ await body.dump()
201
+ } catch (err) {
202
+ console.error(err.code) // UND_ERR_ABORTED
203
+ }
204
+ ```
205
+
206
+ ## Common patterns
207
+
208
+ ### Proxies
209
+
210
+ Use `ProxyAgent` for HTTP(S) proxies, or `EnvHttpProxyAgent` to pick up
211
+ proxy settings from environment variables:
212
+
213
+ ```js
214
+ import { ProxyAgent, setGlobalDispatcher } from 'undici'
215
+
216
+ const proxy = new ProxyAgent('http://proxy.internal:8080')
217
+ setGlobalDispatcher(proxy)
218
+ ```
219
+
220
+ See [Best Practices: Proxy](/docs/docs/best-practices/proxy.md) and
221
+ [API Reference: ProxyAgent](/docs/docs/api/ProxyAgent.md).
222
+
223
+ ### Mocking in tests
224
+
225
+ ```js
226
+ import { MockAgent, setGlobalDispatcher, request } from 'undici'
227
+
228
+ const mockAgent = new MockAgent()
229
+ setGlobalDispatcher(mockAgent)
230
+
231
+ const mockPool = mockAgent.get('https://api.example.com')
232
+ mockPool.intercept({ path: '/users' }).reply(200, [{ id: 1 }])
233
+
234
+ const { body } = await request('https://api.example.com/users')
235
+ console.log(await body.json())
236
+ ```
237
+
238
+ See [Best Practices: Mocking Request](/docs/docs/best-practices/mocking-request.md)
239
+ and [API Reference: MockAgent](/docs/docs/api/MockAgent.md).

+ ### Testing with undici
242
+
243
+ For test suites, set short keep-alive timeouts to avoid slow teardowns:
244
+
245
+ ```js
246
+ import { Agent, setGlobalDispatcher } from 'undici'
247
+
248
+ const agent = new Agent({
249
+ keepAliveTimeout: 10,
250
+ keepAliveMaxTimeout: 10
251
+ })
252
+ setGlobalDispatcher(agent)
253
+ ```
254
+
255
+ See [Best Practices: Writing Tests](/docs/docs/best-practices/writing-tests.md).
256
+
257
+ ### Customizing the global fetch
258
+
259
+ You can override Node.js's built-in globals with `install()`:
260
+
261
+ ```js
262
+ import { install } from 'undici'
263
+
264
+ install()
265
+
266
+ // Global fetch, Headers, Response, Request, and FormData
267
+ // now come from undici, not the Node.js bundle
268
+ const res = await fetch('https://example.com')
269
+ ```
270
+

Carefully consider your workload and environment before enabling concurrent requests as pipelining may reduce performance if used incorrectly. Pipelining is sensitive to network stack settings as well as head of line blocking caused by e.g. long running requests. Set to `0` to disable keep-alive connections.

Carefully consider your workload and environment before enabling concurrent requests as pipelining may reduce performance if used incorrectly. Pipelining is sensitive to network stack settings as well as head of line blocking caused by e.g. long running requests. Set to `0` to disable keep-alive connections. This option has no effect once HTTP/2 is negotiated — see `maxConcurrentStreams` for the h2 dispatch ceiling.
30
+ * **connect** `ConnectOptions | Function | null` (optional) - Default: `null` - Configures how undici establishes TCP/TLS connections. Accepts two forms:
31
+ * **Object (`ConnectOptions`)**: Options passed directly to the internal [`buildConnector()`](/docs/docs/api/Connector.md). This is the simplest way to customize TLS or socket behavior (e.g., setting `rejectUnauthorized`, `ca`, `socketPath`). See [`ConnectOptions`](#parameter-connectoptions) for available fields.
32
+ * **Function**: A custom connector with the signature `(options, callback)`, where `options` contains `{ hostname, host, protocol, port, servername, localAddress, httpSocket }` and `callback` follows `(error, socket)`. Useful when you need full control over socket creation, such as adding custom validation or proxy logic. When a function is provided, undici wraps it to automatically inject `socketPath` and `allowH2` into the `options` argument if those values are set on the client.
31
33
  * **strictContentLength** `Boolean` (optional) - Default: `true` - Whether to treat request content length mismatches as errors. If true, an error is thrown when the request content-length header doesn't match the length of the request body. **Security Warning:** Disabling this option can expose your application to HTTP Request Smuggling attacks, where mismatched content-length headers cause servers and proxies to interpret request boundaries differently. This can lead to cache poisoning, credential hijacking, and bypassing security controls. Only disable this in controlled environments where you fully trust the request source.
32
34
  * **autoSelectFamily**: `boolean` (optional) - Default: depends on local Node version, on Node 18.13.0 and above is `false`. Enables a family autodetection algorithm that loosely implements section 5 of [RFC 8305](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8305#section-5). See [here](https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#socketconnectoptions-connectlistener) for more details. This option is ignored if not supported by the current Node version.
33
35
  * **autoSelectFamilyAttemptTimeout**: `number` - Default: depends on local Node version, on Node 18.13.0 and above is `250`. The amount of time in milliseconds to wait for a connection attempt to finish before trying the next address when using the `autoSelectFamily` option. See [here](https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#socketconnectoptions-connectlistener) for more details.
34
36
  * **allowH2**: `boolean` - Default: `true`. Enables support for H2 if the server has assigned bigger priority to it through ALPN negotiation.
35
37
  * **useH2c**: `boolean` - Default: `false`. Enforces h2c for non-https connections.
36
- * **maxConcurrentStreams**: `number` - Default: `100`. Dictates the maximum number of concurrent streams for a single H2 session. It can be overridden by a SETTINGS remote frame.
38
+ * **maxConcurrentStreams**: `number` - Default: `100`. The maximum number of concurrent HTTP/2 streams per session. When `allowH2` negotiates h2, this — not `pipelining` (which is HTTP/1.1 only, per [RFC7230](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.3.2)) — is the ceiling the Client uses to dispatch in-flight requests on a shared session. The same value is advertised to the server as `peerMaxConcurrentStreams`, capping how many streams the server may push back. The initial value is replaced by the server's `SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS` whenever the server sends one, so a user-supplied value acts as a pre-`SETTINGS` default rather than a hard cap.
37
39
  * **initialWindowSize**: `number` (optional) - Default: `262144` (256KB). Sets the HTTP/2 stream-level flow-control window size (SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE). Must be a positive integer greater than 0. This default is higher than Node.js core's default (65535 bytes) to improve throughput, Node's choice is very conservative for current high-bandwith networks. See [RFC 7540 Section 6.9.2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7540#section-6.9.2) for more details.
38
40
  * **connectionWindowSize**: `number` (optional) - Default `524288` (512KB). Sets the HTTP/2 connection-level flow-control window size using `ClientHttp2Session.setLocalWindowSize()`. Must be a positive integer greater than 0. This provides better flow control for the entire connection across multiple streams. See [Node.js HTTP/2 documentation](https://nodejs.org/api/http2.html#clienthttp2sessionsetlocalwindowsize) for more details.
39
41
  * **pingInterval**: `number` - Default: `60e3`. The time interval in milliseconds between PING frames sent to the server. Set to `0` to disable PING frames. This is only applicable for HTTP/2 connections. This will emit a `ping` event on the client with the duration of the ping in milliseconds.
