Got is the most feature-complete Node.js HTTP client. Where Axios and Ky focus on simplicity, Got prioritizes completeness: streaming, pagination helpers, redirect handling, CookieJar, caching, and a powerful hooks system. Confidence is docs-derived.
The API surface covers HTTP methods with extensive options (headers, body, json, form, responseType, redirect, retry, timeout, pagination), stream API, and extend() for creating preconfigured instances. TypeScript types are included.
Got is a Node.js-only library with no platform auth. Auth is implemented via instance configuration (got.extend({ headers: { Authorization: token } })) or per-request. No external services.
Operationally, Got handles complex HTTP scenarios well: server-sent events via streams, large file downloads, cookie session management, and custom retry logic. The pagination helper simplifies cursor-based API traversal. ESM-only in recent versions requires build configuration attention.
Documentation is comprehensive GitHub README. Developer experience is good for server-side HTTP use cases that require streaming or pagination; simpler use cases may not need Got's surface area.
