Get All network requests Using selenium 4.6.0

When we write automation scripts there have lots of places where we need validation from the network tab, we need a response, and request value and sometimes we need to intercept the network request. Before selenium 4 it was impossible to get network requests. But in selenium 4 there has an opportunity to capture all the network requests.

Add a new version of Selenium

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java --

<dependency>

??<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

??<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

??<version>4.6.0</version>

</dependency>>
        

Create session with devtools

 DevTools devTools = driver.getDevTools();
 devTools.createSession();        

Set Max total buffer size , Max resource buffer size , Max post data size.

I set here emptry by Optional.empty functtion.

devTools.send(Network.enable(Optional.empty(),Optional.empty(),Optional.empty()));        

Now add listener to capture all the network

devTools.addListener        

Inside the request you will get your all network call and you can do any operation there, I just simply print the request

Here is full code

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, AWTException {

    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

    ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    driver.get("https://www.google.com");
    DevTools devTools = driver.getDevTools();
    devTools.createSession();

    devTools.send(Network.enable(Optional.empty(),Optional.empty(),Optional.empty()));

    devTools.addListener(Network.requestWillBeSent(),
            request ->{
                System.out.println("Request URL:"+request.getRequest().getUrl());
                System.out.println("Request Method:"+request.getRequest().getMethod());
                System.out.println("Request Method:"+request.getRequest().getHeaders().toJson());
            });
    Thread.sleep(50000);
}
