PlatformArchitecture
macOSIntel (x64)
macOSApple Silicon (arm64)
Linuxx64 (glibc)
Linuxx64 (musl)
Linuxarm64 (glibc)
Windowsx64

​
Building from source

If a prebuilt binary for your platform is unavailable, the package will attempt to build from source. Make sure you have the following installed:

​
Prerequisites

  1. Rust toolchain — Install via rustup: 
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
  2. Build essentials — C compiler and related tools: 
    xcode-select --install

​
Build

After installing prerequisites, the package will automatically build when you run: 
npm install wreq-js

​
Verify installation

import { fetch, getProfiles } from 'wreq-js';

// Check available browser profiles
console.log('Available profiles:', getProfiles());

// Make a test request
const response = await fetch('https://httpbin.org/get', {
  browser: 'chrome_142',
});
console.log('Status:', response.status);

​
Troubleshooting

If you see an error about missing binaries, ensure you’re using a supported platform or have the build prerequisites installed.
If you encounter permission issues, try:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
