You can use the http namespace of the Runnable API to make HTTP requests from your Runnable code. These methods are currently the only way to access the network from Runnable code. Arbitrary socket and network access is not currently possible.

For Rust, these methods are available under the http module, for example http::get(). For Swift, they are prefixed with Http, for example Suborbital.HttpGet()

The following namespace methods are available:

GET

Performs an HTTP GET request

pub fn get(url: &str, headers: Option<BTreeMap<&str, &str>>) -> Vec<u8>

public func HttpGet(url: String) -> String

POST

Performs an HTTP POST request

pub fn post(url: &str, body: Option<Vec<u8>>, headers: Option<BTreeMap<&str, &str>>) -> Vec<u8>

public func HttpPost(url: String, body: String) -> String

PATCH

Performs an HTTP PATCH request

pub fn patch(url: &str, body: Option<Vec<u8>>, headers: Option<BTreeMap<&str, &str>>) -> Vec<u8>

public func HttpPatch(url: String, body: String) -> String

DELETE

Performs an HTTP DELETE request

pub fn delete(url: &str, headers: Option<BTreeMap<&str, &str>>) -> Vec<u8>

public func HttpDelete(url: String) -> String

Swift does not yet support passing headers to a request.
