 If you're running on top of hackney (which you probably are) there's a handy way to get detailed request logging:

+end
+```
+
 ```
-:hackney_trace.enable(:max, :io)
+iex(1)> :hackney_trace.enable(:max, :io)
 ```
 
 Just throw this in your code before your HTTPoison call and you'll get low-level log output.
