request

Runs server-side without going through the browser. Combine with saveAs to feed the response into later steps. In Momentic Cloud, the step resolves each destination, including redirect targets, before sending and fails when it resolves to a private, loopback, or cloud metadata address. The lookup isn’t pinned to the connection, so the check doesn’t stop DNS rebinding.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`url`	`string`	Yes	Request URL.
`method`	`string`	No	HTTP method: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`, or `PATCH`. Defaults to `GET`.
`headers`	`Record<string, string>`	No	Request headers.
`params`	`Record<string, string>`	No	Query parameters.
`body`	`unknown`	No	Request body.
`contentType`	`"json" \| "form-urlencoded"`	No	Body encoding. Defaults to `json`; `form-urlencoded` requires an object with string values.

`retries`	`number`	No	Number of times to retry the step on failure before failing the test.
