A PostgreSQL extension written in C that lets you make HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) directly from SQL queries. It enables database triggers to call web services or fetch web content from inside the database.

Use cases

• make http requests from sql in postgres
• call a web service from a database trigger
• fetch a web page inside postgresql
• send webhook notifications from the database
• urlencode query parameters in sql
• consume rest apis from postgres

When to choose

• you need to call external APIs directly from SQL or triggers
• you want to avoid moving data out of the database to make HTTP calls
• you need simple webhook or service-poke behavior on data changes

When to avoid

• you need async, high-throughput, or streaming HTTP workloads
• you want to keep network I/O out of your database process for reliability or security reasons
• you need a general-purpose HTTP client outside PostgreSQL
