+## Custom Request Body
+
+Pass custom request body using the `requestBody` option in either a string or object format. Objects will automatically be converted to a JSON string.
+
+```yaml
+requestBody:
+  foo: bar
+# or
+requestBody: "{\"foo\":\"bar\"}"
+```
+
+Both formats result in `{"foo":"bar"}` being sent as the request body. Don't forget to set your `Content-Type` headers!
