My local function works fine running on 

```
firebase serve --only functions

```

but once it is deployed to the cloud, I cannot make the same get request to it, using postman. I get the following error on stackdriver:
 `Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 at JSON.parse`, and my request returns the following: `400. That’s an error.Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know.` 

The Data I send in both local and firebase is a `GET` request of type `application/json` with a body of:
`{
 "data": {
 "Celebrity_A": "Brad Pitt",
 "Celebrity_B": "Angelina Jolie"
 }
}`

What request is it the firebase function expecting remotely, compared to on local?

Below is the start of my function:

```
// Main index.ts
exports.funct = functions.https.onRequest(functexp)

// functexp file
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';
import * as admin from 'firebase-admin';
import * as _request from 'request';
const serviceAccount = require('./credentials.json');
admin.initializeApp({
    credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount)
});
const db = admin.firestore();

export function functexp(request, response) {
    console.log(`request`);
    console.log(request);
    let celebName_A = null;
    let celebName_B = null;
    if(request !== undefined){
        celebName_A = request.body.data['Celebrity_A'];
        celebName_B = request.body.data['Celebrity_B'];
        console.log(`celebA is ${celebName_A}`)
    } etc...
}

```
