Logging of REST API calls to the Gemini service

[kolban-google]

I am using the genai package and all is well. I believe it is making API calls to VertexAI at the endpoint:

aiplatform.googleapis.com

My question:

Can I log or otherwise debug the REST requests sent and received? Ideally, I would like to see the requests and responses sent from Python and received by Python. This is for education and debugging purposes.

I have tried:

import logging
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

and that worked to an extent ... the logs did show a REST request but there was no logging of the payload and no logging of the response text. Ideally I would like to see a rich and complete set of data.
