What should I use instead of request-promise?

The ecosystem moved to got, a separate project that took over the same job. got is not a drop-in replacement, so expect to change call sites.

How to migrate from request-promise to got

got is the closest promise-first replacement: request-promise({uri, json: true}) becomes got(url).json(), and resolveWithFullResponse: true maps onto got's default response object.

Why request-promise is on this list

request-promise is a Bluebird-backed promise wrapper around request, and it was deprecated in July 2020 for the same reason its base package was. The npm notice states plainly that it extends the now-deprecated request package. Its last release is 4.2.6; nothing in the request family receives fixes any more.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

request-promise alternatives

Beyond the primary recommendation, these are credible for request-promise's use case:

• node-fetch — view on npm

Check your own project for request-promise

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If request-promise is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
