How do I know which gateway intents I need for a certain event in Discord.js?

How do I know which gateway intents I need for a certain event in Discord.js? For instance, if I want my bot to respond to the "messageCreate" event, how can I find out which gateway intents are necessary?

Simplifying the API request process

import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { API } from '@discordjs/core/http-only';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');
const api = new API(rest);

await api.channels.createMessage('channelId', { content: 'Hello World' });

import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { API } from '@discordjs/core/http-only';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');
const api = new API(rest);

await api.channels.createMessage('channelId', { content: 'Hello World' });

This code works well, but can we streamline it further? Currently, we specify the channelId separately from the request body. Is there a way to combine all required parameters into one object, like this?

await api.channels.createMessage({ channelId, 'xxxxxxxx', content: 'Hello World' });

await api.channels.createMessage({ channelId, 'xxxxxxxx', content: 'Hello World' });

Simplifying API Requests

Here's the code I'm using:

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');

rest.request({
    fullRoute: Routes.channelMessages('xxxxxxxxxx'),
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
        content: 'test'
    }
});

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');

rest.request({
    fullRoute: Routes.channelMessages('xxxxxxxxxx'),
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
        content: 'test'
    }
});

It works well, but I have one question: Is there a way to send requests without specifying the method? I'd like to just send requests to the endpoint without specifying the method each time.
