delphi-http-client

Delphi guidance for calling HTTP and REST APIs, which are web services that applications use to exchange data. It covers client choices, JSON, authentication, timeouts, errors, and background calls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect a Delphi application to external services, send authenticated requests, read JSON responses, or move network work off the main thread.
Why use it?
It prevents unsafe API calls, leaked responses, poor error handling, and user interfaces that freeze while waiting for a server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

delphi-http-client scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Delphi HTTP Client — Consuming REST APIs

This kit's framework skills teach serving HTTP (Horse, DMVC, Dext). This skill covers the other direction: calling external HTTP/REST APIs from Delphi code — the gap between them was a verified finding of this kit's own system analysis.

Usage

You say What happens
"Call this REST API from Delphi" / "bu API'yi Delphi'den tüket" Client choice (table below), then a timeout-safe, try..finally-correct implementation with parsed JSON.
"Add authentication to the API call" CustomHeaders bearer/token pattern, or TRESTClient authenticator classes.
"The API call freezes my UI" Moves the call off the main thread (TTask + TThread.Queue — see the threading skill), never a synchronous call in an event handler.
A .pas file consuming an API is reviewed Checklist at the bottom applied: timeouts set, response freed, status checked, JSON parsed safely, no main-thread blocking.

Choosing the client — three options, one decision table

THTTPClient TNetHTTPClient TRESTClient stack
Unit System.Net.HttpClient System.Net.HttpClientComponent REST.Client
Style Code-first class Drop-on-form component wrapper of THTTPClient (design-time props, events) Component trio: TRESTClient + TRESTRequest + TRESTResponse
Best for Services/infrastructure code, console, anything non-visual Quick form-based apps wanting design-time config JSON REST APIs — built-in param handling, serialization helpers, authenticators
JSON Manual (System.JSON) Manual (System.JSON) Response.JSONValue, TJson helpers
Auth CustomHeaders yourself CustomHeaders yourself TRESTHttpBasicAuthenticator, OAuth authenticator components

Default recommendation: THTTPClient in infrastructure/service classes (fits this kit's layering — the HTTP call belongs behind an interface in Infrastructure, never in a form event); TRESTClient stack when the API is JSON-heavy and you want request/response plumbing handled for you.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

delphi-http-client is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecondLifes/delphi-expert (3 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,608 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
