You can use kohttp library. It is a Kotlin DSL HTTP client. It supports the features of square.okhttp and provides a clear DSL for them. KoHttp async calls are powered by coroutines.

httpGet extension function

val response: Response = "https://google.com/search?q=iphone".httpGet()

you can also use async call with coroutines

val response: Deferred = "https://google.com/search?q=iphone".asyncHttpGet()

or DSL function for more complex requests

val response: Response = httpGet {
    host = "google.com"
    path = "/search"
    param {
       "q" to "iphone"
       "safe" to "off"
   }
}

You can find more details in docs

To get it with gradle use

implementation 'io.github.rybalkinsd:kohttp:0.12.0'
