Is there a support for client POST with pure json data?

In the same way as this clj-http does with this snippet

(clj-http.client/post { :body "{\"json\": \"input\"}" })

Seems like neither query-params nor form-params can be used for that.

For anyone else that runs across this issue, you have to add a Content-Type header for this to work with most servers…

(http/post "url" {:body (json-str {:key "value", :key2 ["arr"]})
                  :headers {"Content-Type" "application/json"}})

I solved this problem earlier today by leveraging https://github.com/clojure/data.json to encode the body

(ns your-namespace.core
  (:require
    [clj-http.client :as http]
    [clojure.data.json :as json]))

(def github-token "redacted")

(defn make-request [query]
  (->
   (http/post "https://api.github.com/graphql"
              {:headers {:Authorization (str "bearer " github-token)}
               :body (json/write-str {:query query})
               :accept :json
               :throw-entire-message? true})
   :body
   (json/read-str :key-fn keyword)))

Hope this helps somebody 😀
