·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

The ServerRequest object in SuiteScript 2.x is essential for handling HTTP requests in server scripts. It allows developers to access request data and metadata, providing a powerful way to interact with the NetSuite environment.

What is the ServerRequest Object?

The ServerRequest object facilitates the retrieval of data sent from the client as part of an HTTP request to server scripts, such as those written for Suitelets or RESTlets. This object is critical when you need to parse request bodies, headers, parameters, and more.

Key Members of the ServerRequest Object

Below are the properties and methods available for the ServerRequest object:
