[Python] How to read the request body using orjson library in FastAPI?

from fastapi import FastAPI, status, Request
from fastapi.responses import ORJSONResponse
import uvicorn
import asyncio
import orjson

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/", status_code = status.HTTP_200_OK)
async def get_data(request: Request):

return param
