Example

This asynchronous example uses Tokio and enables some optional features, so your Cargo.toml could look like this:

[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
reqwest_impersonate = "0.11"

Or WebSocket:

[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
reqwest_impersonate = { version = "0.11", features = ["websocket"] }

And then the code:

use std::error::Error;
use reqwest_impersonate as reqwest;
use reqwest::impersonate::Impersonate;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Build a client to mimic Chrome123
    let client = reqwest::Client::builder()
        .impersonate(Impersonate::Chrome123)
        .enable_ech_grease()
        .permute_extensions()
        .cookie_store(true)
        .build()?;

    // Use the API you're already familiar with
    let resp = client.get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all").send().await?;
    println!("{}", resp.text().await?);

    Ok(())
}

And then the websocket code:

use reqwest_impersonate as reqwest;
use std::error::Error;
use tungstenite::Message;

use futures_util::{SinkExt, StreamExt, TryStreamExt};
use reqwest::{impersonate::Impersonate, Client};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let websocket = Client::builder()
        .impersonate_websocket(Impersonate::Chrome120)
        .build()?
        .get("wss://echo.websocket.org")
        .upgrade()
        .send()
        .await?
        .into_websocket()
        .await?;

    let (mut tx, mut rx) = websocket.split();

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        for i in 1..11 {
            tx.send(Message::Text(format!("Hello, World! #{i}")))
                .await
                .unwrap();
        }
    });

    while let Some(message) = rx.try_next().await? {
        match message {
            Message::Text(text) => println!("received: {text}"),
            _ => {}
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}

Requirements

On Linux:

• OpenSSL with headers. See https://docs.rs/openssl for supported versions and more details. Alternatively you can enable the native-tls-vendored feature to compile a copy of OpenSSL.

On Windows and macOS:

• Nothing.

Reqwest uses rust-native-tls, which will use the operating system TLS framework if available, meaning Windows and macOS. On Linux, it will use OpenSSL 1.1.
