Request sent event

[iamoskvin]

Is there a way to subscribe on event: "the request is sent"?

Yes, you can use the request event which fires when the request is sent:

const request = got('https://example.com');

request.on('request', (request) => {
	console.log('Request sent:', request.requestUrl);
});

const response = await request;

Keep in mind the request object passed to the event is the underlying Node.js request (http.ClientRequest), so you can access things like headers, method, etc. from it.

Alternatively, you could use the beforeRequest hook if you need to do someting right before the request is sent.
