| url                          | string / [HTTP URL](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-http/url/#returns) | Request URL (e.g. `http://example.com`).                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| body (optional, discouraged) | string / object / ArrayBuffer                                            | Request body; objects will be `x-www-form-urlencoded`. This is discouraged, because sending a DELETE request with a body has [no defined semantics](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.5) and may cause some servers to reject it. |
| params (optional)            | object                                                                   | [Params](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-http/params/) object containing additional request parameters.                                                                                                                                       |
