• Viewing the Request Body

Viewing the Request Body

When debugging or testing, it may be useful to examine the raw request body to compare against the documented format.

Example Code

package main

import "github.com/sendgrid/rest"
import "fmt"

func main() {
	const host = "https://api.example.com"
	param := "myparam"
	endpoint := "/your/api/" + param + "/call"
	baseURL := host + endpoint
	Headers := make(map[string]string)
	key := os.Getenv("API_KEY")
	Headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + key
	Headers["X-Test"] = "Test"
	var Body = []byte(`{"some": 0, "awesome": 1, "data": 3}`)
	queryParams := make(map[string]string)
	queryParams["hello"] = "0"
	queryParams["world"] = "1"
	method := rest.Post
	request = rest.Request{
		Method:      method,
		BaseURL:     baseURL,
		Headers:     Headers,
		QueryParams: queryParams,
		Body:        Body,
	}
	response, err := rest.API(request)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	} else {
		fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
		fmt.Println(response.Body)
		fmt.Println(response.Headers)
	}
}

You can do this right before you call response, err := rest.API(request) like so:

fmt.Printf("Request Body: %v \n", string(request.Body))

req, e := BuildRequestObject(request)
requestDump, err := httputil.DumpRequest(req, true)
if err != nil {
	t.Errorf("Error : %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("Request : %v \n", string(requestDump))
