`httping` is a tiny R package to Ping urls to time requests. It's a port of the Ruby gem [httping](https://github.com/jpignata/httping).

## Install

CRAN stable version

```{r eval=FALSE}

install.packages("httping")

```

Development version from Github

```{r eval=FALSE}

install.packages("pak")

pak::pkg_install("sckott/httping")

```

```{r}

library("httping")

library("httr")

```

## Pass any httr request to time

A `GET` request

```{r}

GET("https://google.com") %>% time(count = 3)

```

A `POST` request

```{r}

POST("https://mockbin.com/request", body = "A simple text string") %>% time(count = 3)

```

The return object is a list with slots for all the `httr` response objects, the times for each request, and the average times. The number of requests, and

the delay between requests are included as attributes.

```{r}

res <- GET("http://google.com") %>% time(count = 3)

attributes(res)

```

Or print a summary of a response, gives more detail

```{r}

res %>% summary()

```

Messages are printed using `cat`, so you can suppress those using `verbose=FALSE`, like

```{r}

GET("https://google.com") %>% time(count = 3, verbose = FALSE)

```

## Ping an endpoint

This function is a bit different, accepts a url as first parameter, but can accept any args passed on to `httr` verb functions, like `GET`, `POST`,  etc.

```{r}

"https://google.com" %>% ping()

```

Or pass in additional arguments to modify request

```{r}

"https://google.com" %>% ping(config = verbose())

```
