pgcurl

Call curl from PostgreSQL.

Requirements

• PostgreSQL
• libcurl

Installation

sh% make install
psql# create extension pgcurl;
psql# select curl('http://httpbin.org/get')::jsonb->'url';

Limitations

• Only text at the moment (gzip/deflate uncompressed by libcurl)
• Quite slow: fetches one url at a time
• Errors are returned in-band
• No options
