# Request Object (rq.request)

> Complete reference for the rq.request object in Requestly scripts, including properties and methods to access.

The `rq.request` object provides access to all details of the API request in your Requestly scripts. You can use these properties and methods in both pre-request and post-response scripts to read  data.

## Properties and Methods

### `rq.request.method`

Use this property to get the Request's method. The HTTP method of the request (e.g. `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `OPTION`, `DELETE`, `PATCH`, `HEAD`).

**Example:**

```jsx theme={null}
console.log("Request Method: ", rq.request.method);
```

### `rq.request.headers`

An list of header rows each having `key`, `value` & `isEnabled` for each custom header you create.

**Example:**

```jsx theme={null}
console.log("Headers: ", JSON.stringify(rq.request.headers));
```

### `rq.request.body`

The body of the request, accessible as a string. If you have selected `Form` under `Body` it would be returned in `object` format.

**Example:**

```jsx theme={null}
console.log("Body:", JSON.stringify(rq.request.body));
```

### `rq.request.url`

The full URL of the API request.

**Example:**

```jsx theme={null}
console.log("Request URL:", rq.request.url);
```

### `rq.request.queryParams`

An object containing rows of query parameters each having `key`, `value` & `isEnabled`.

**Example:**

```jsx theme={null}
console.log("Query Params:", JSON.stringify(rq.request.queryParams));
```

## Common Use Cases

### Logging Request Details

```jsx theme={null}
console.log("Making " + rq.request.method + " request to " + rq.request.url);
console.log("Request headers:", JSON.stringify(rq.request.headers));
console.log("Request body:", JSON.stringify(rq.request.body));
```

### Conditional Logic Based on Request Method

```jsx theme={null}
if (rq.request.method === "POST" || rq.request.method === "PUT") {
    console.log("Sending data:", rq.request.body);
}
```

### Accessing Query Parameters

```jsx theme={null}
rq.request.queryParams.forEach(param => {
    if (param.isEnabled) {
        console.log(`Query param ${param.key}: ${param.value}`);
    }
});
```
