I want to run a node app that would check multiple websites and responds with the proper status code. I am using the 'request' module of Node itself.
The code I have is:
const request = require('request')
function getStatus() {
request('https://www.google.com', function(error, response, body) {
result = response.statusCode;
if(!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
document.write("The Site Is Up");
console.log(result);
} else {
console.log("The Site Is Down");
}
});
}
This works fine for one website. But, I want to know how can I run the same function for multiple sites? For example, the url should be fed from an Array of urls.
If I have an array of urls such as:
var urls = ["https://www.google.com", "https://www.yahoo.com"];
How can I feed these individual urls to the request function? and get results for each site?
You can do this with a list of promises, should be easy enough to do:
const request = require('request')
const urlList = ["https://www.google.com", "https://www.amazon.com"];
function getStatus(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
request(url, function(error, response, body) {
resolve({site: url, status: (!error && response.statusCode == 200) ? "OK": "Down: " + error.message});
});
})
}
let promiseList = urlList.map(url => getStatus(url));
Promise.all(promiseList).then(resultList => {
resultList.forEach(result => console.log("Result: ", result));
});
You can also us the request-promise-native library for a nicer API:
const request = require('request')
const rp = require('request-promise-native')
const urlList = ["https://www.google.com", "https://www.amazon.com", "https://doesnotexist.none", "https://wikipedia.org"];
function getStatusRp(url) {
return rp({uri: url, resolveWithFullResponse: true }).then((response) => {
return { site: url, status: response.statusCode === 200 ? "OK": "Down"};
}, (err) => {
return { site: url, status: "Down: " + err.message};
});
}
let promiseList = urlList.map(url => getStatusRp(url));
Promise.all(promiseList).then(resultList => {
resultList.forEach(result => console.log("Result: ", result));
});
