What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Node.js library for downloading files over HTTP and optionally extracting archives, returning promises or streams. It wraps got for requests and decompress for archive extraction.
Use cases
- download a file from a url in nodejs
- download and extract zip archives programmatically
- save remote images to disk in a build script
- download multiple files in parallel with promises
- pipe an http download to a writable stream
When to choose
- you need a simple promise-based file downloader in Node.js
- you want automatic archive extraction during download
- you need both buffer and stream interfaces for downloads
When to avoid
- you need resumable or segmented downloads
- you are not on Node.js
- you need advanced retry or proxy features beyond what got offers
