Thanks,

Islam

Hi,

I am not sure if you are asking about this but you have&nbsp;[Request attributes API - POST a request attribute](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/api-request-attributes-post-request-attribute).

Best regards

This should be coming out very soon: [https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Product-ideas/RFE-capture-POST-Bodies/idc-p/199511/highlight/true#M34158](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/199511)

[@Islam\_Zedan](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/16821)&nbsp;- it is not possible today, to get a request attribute from body of a payload. You could&nbsp;look into a method that utilizes the value and create a request attribute there. You can add accessors on a Class object to get to a variable if required.

But as&nbsp;[@AntonioSousa](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/17213)&nbsp;said, looks like something is coming soon.

Hi&nbsp;[@Islam\_Zedan](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/16821)&nbsp;!

If you have enabled Grail on your tenant you can use Business Event (new powerful “request attribute” working on 100% of trace, without sampling) :

Concept :&nbsp;[Basic concepts of Dynatrace Business Observability — Dynatrace Docs](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/business-analytics/ba-basic-concepts)

Capture :&nbsp;[https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/business-analytics/ba-events-capturing#example-of-data-extraction](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/business-analytics/ba-events-capturing#example-of-data-extraction)

This new feature enabled data capture from the JSON payload! Request and Answer are supported.

In my use cases, it’s more needed in Managed environments…
