# HttpFetcher

Skrape{it} provides different fetcher implementations. All of the Fetchers behave different and you should pick them depending on your needs.

The `HttpFetcher` is a classic http client. It will send an HTTP-request (with [given request parameters](https://docs.skrape.it/docs/http-client/request-options), headers etc.) to a given url and returns a result that consists of the http response status as well as of the response headers and body. Nothing more, nothing less.

**It is fast, robust and result will look simular to what you would get when surfing a page in your browser with deactivated Javascript.**

Thereby it is the best pick if you want to call server-side rendered websites, a static html pages or if you just don't care about the excecution of a websites Javascript.
