如何从外部URL下载json文件

Question

I'm trying to download a json file from an external url using nodejs. The problem is that this file ( dumpFile.json ) is created empty.

var file = fs.createWriteStream("download/dumpFile.json");
let URL = 'http://user:pass@domain.com/file.json');
var request = http.get(URL, function (resp) {
     resp.on("finish", function () {
       logger.error(fs.readFileSync("file", { encoding: "utf8" }))
 }).pipe(file);
});
}).catch(error => {
  logger.error(error)  
})

I tried a lot of things, but I can't figured it out what is happening.

Answer 1

const fs = require('fs')
const http = require('http')

const url = 'http://user:pass@domain.com/file.json'
const fileName = 'download/dumpFile.json'

http.get(url, function (res) {
  res.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(fileName))
})

I think you are calling to a https url using http try this working code.

var http = require('https');
var fs = require("fs");
var file = fs.createWriteStream("dumpFile.json");
let URL = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ljharb/json-file-plus/master/package.json';
try {
    var request = http.get(URL, function (resp) {
        resp.on("finish", function () {
            logger.error(fs.readFileSync("file", {
                encoding: "utf8"
            }))
        }).pipe(file);
    });
} catch (e) {
    console.log('error ', e);
}

sorry your code seems to be incomplete, I was updated it to check working.
