How do you follow an HTTP Redirect in Node.js?

by

If all you want to do is follow redirects but still want to use the built-in HTTP and HTTPS modules, I suggest you use https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects.

yarn add follow-redirects
npm install follow-redirects

All you need to do is replace:

var http = require('http');

with

var http = require('follow-redirects').http;

… and all your requests will automatically follow redirects.

With TypeScript you can also install the types

npm install @types/follow-redirects

and then use 

import { http, https } from 'follow-redirects';

Disclosure: I wrote this module.
