We need to be able to get Raw body's request data from API

[alanxp]

Describe the problem

When we get a request from our API, i can't seem to get the raw body request that stripe needs for the webhooks so i can't process payments lol. Been very frustrating, already searched for days, gpt + bard + forums and nothing. Stripe needs the body request untouched without any sveltekit's processing on it.

So using request.text() it wont help since it already has some processing.

Describe the proposed solution

Be able to get request.rawData

Alternatives considered

The only idea to make it work is to use a custom node server but that's just not the ideal

Importance

i cannot use SvelteKit without it

I need help on this as well. All the packages I use return some sort of error, when trying to get the raw-body. The buffer from micro returns "Invalid body." And getRawBody returns "Argument stream must be a stream." Whatever that means.

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";
import Stripe from "stripe";
import { headers } from "next/headers";
import getRawBody from "raw-body";

const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY as string, {
  apiVersion: "2023-10-16",
});

const endpointSecret = process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET as string;

// Make sure to add this, otherwise you will get a stream.not.readable error
export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: false,
  },
};

export async function POST(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  try {
    const headersList = headers();
    const signature = headersList.get("stripe-signature") as string;


    const rawBody = await getRawBody(req);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
 
    return Response.json({
      key: "message",
      status: 500,
      message:
        "Internal Server Error. Check /api/payment/stripe-webhook-endpoint.ts",
    });
  }
}
