On my server i have multiple ip addresses. I need to make API call from my node.js server to external service, but i need to make it from specific ip address each time (the ip depend on many factors).
it seems that HTTP
module of node support localAddress
property to specify from what ip address send the request but some library I import use the fetch method.
How i can tell fetch
method to make http request from a specific ip address?
If by fetch
in Node.js you mean node-fetch
npm module, then, judging by the fact that it interprets it's own options
object and builds an entirely different one for the http.get
request it wraps (all so that it can match the WHATWG Fetch Specification more fully), unfortunately it's impossible. Furthermore, this functionality would/could never be part of any browser API.
You can, however use the localAdress
in options
object with got
npm module, which is a much more transparent Promise wrapper around http.request
.
