# Request Body

When you need to send data from a client (let's say, a browser) to your API, you send it as a **request body**.

A **request** body is data sent by the client to your API. A **response** body is the data your API sends to the client.

Your API almost always has to send a **response** body. But clients don't necessarily need to send **request bodies** all the time, sometimes they only request a path, maybe with some query parameters, but don't send a body.

          return response.request().newBuilder()
              .header("Authorization", credential)
              .build();
        })
        .build();
  }

    try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {

        if (Features.consumerPom(session.getUserProperties()) && consumerPomPresent(request.getArtifacts())) {
            request.setArtifacts(replacePom(request.getArtifacts()));
        }
        return request;
