FYI, it looks like if you use functions.https.Request rawBody passes the TS compiler. However, if you use the alias functions.Request, the compiler does not find rawBody

This answer here fixed it for me (it’s @mitchellbutler’s mention of this issue on Apr 21 2020, just a few comments up from here): https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/issues/341#issuecomment-617193575

The main line being: const firebaseRequest = req as https.Request which types it as functions.https.Request, enabling access to rawBody. Also reference @deremer’s comment above: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions/issues/417#issuecomment-500657318
