Obsidian HTTP Request is a helper library that allows you to download assets and make HTTP requests either directly or through a proxy (to avoid CORS issues, for example when using images from an other domain with a canvas).

To install Obsidian HTTP Request run the following command:

npm install obsidian-http-request

You can find the library documentation at the following address:

• http://wanadev.github.io/obsidian-http-request/

const httpRequest = require("obsidian-http-request");

httpRequest.getText("http://example.com/hello.txt")
    .then(function(result) {
        console.log(result);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.error(error);
    });
