I had a working code setup to get the rawBody from
but now that
my previous solution was
with the bodyParser turned off
import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";but now that
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next/types' is enforced, I just can't figure out how to get the raw body from it.my previous solution was
let rawBody = Buffer.alloc(0)
for await (const chunk of req) {
rawBody = Buffer.concat([rawBody, chunk])
}with the bodyParser turned off
export const config = {
api: {
bodyParser: false
}

what about
request.text() within the route handler function?@nehalist what about `request.text()` within the route handler function?

Property 'text' does not exist on type 'NextApiRequest'.ts(2339)what nextjs version are you using?

14.2.4
according to the docs the type of
request in route handlers should be Request, not NextApiRequest:
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const rawBody = await request.text();@nehalist according to the docs the type of `request` in route handlers should be `Request`, not `NextApiRequest`:
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const rawBody = await request.text();

I am using Pages Directory https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes
and it says
and it says
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'export default function handler(
req: NextApiRequest,
res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>
)didn't know that. my knowledge with pages router is a bit out of date, but according to the docs https://www.npmjs.com/package/raw-body might be a solution

Nevermind, this works.
I tried it before, but I messed something up, but on a second run it's great.
Thanks m8 @nehalist š
