Example

Using http.request() to issue a POST request:

import http from 'k6/http';


const url = 'https://httpbin.test.k6.io/post';


export default function () {
  const data = { name: 'Bert' };


  // Using a JSON string as body
  let res = http.request('POST', url, JSON.stringify(data), {
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  });
  console.log(res.json().json.name); // Bert


  // Using an object as body, the headers will automatically include
  // 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
  res = http.request('POST', url, data);
  console.log(res.json().form.name); // Bert
}
