The request package is deprecated by the authors since 2020: https://www.npmjs.com/package/request
This should be addressed because it has a dependency on an old version of form-data which contains secruity issues: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-7783
While switiching to an entirely new package to manage the requests is advisable in regards to code quality, the switch to the recently updated and maintained fork https://github.com/cypress-io/request is much easier and does not change the typings of the responses the user receives.
