How to get the size of the request body of scripted rest API?

[Mahesh Bachhav]

I have scripted REST API in my ServiceNow scoped application. I would like to get the size of the request body when someone calls this REST API.

How to get the size of request body?

Hi,

yes there is a property but I don't think you can calculate the size

Headers can be retrieved with " var headers = request.headers"

[Hitoshi Ozawa]

Try below.

(function process(/*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {
  var headers = request.headers;
  var contentLength = headers['content-length'];

Hi Mahesh,

Since it's getting the size of the body, it's going to be POST or PUSH request.

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {
        var requestData = request.body.data;
        var sizeOfBody = requestData.length;
