ureq is a simple, safe, blocking HTTP client library for Rust with minimal dependencies and no unsafe code. It supports HTTPS via rustls or native-tls, cookies, JSON, proxies, and connection pooling through its Agent API.
Use cases
- make HTTP requests from a Rust program
- call REST APIs with JSON payloads
- download web content with a simple blocking client
- send authenticated requests with headers and cookies
- use an HTTP client without async runtime overhead
- make HTTPS requests with rustls
When to choose
- you want a low-overhead, easy-to-use blocking HTTP client in Rust
- your project avoids async runtimes like tokio
- you value pure-Rust, no-unsafe dependencies
- you need cookies, JSON, or proxy support out of the box
When to avoid
- you need async/await HTTP requests (use reqwest instead)
- you need HTTP/2 or advanced client features
- you need extremely high-concurrency request handling
