[google-chrome] Making HTTP Requests using Chrome Developer tools

Is there a way to make an HTTP request using the Chrome Developer tools without using a plugin like POSTER?

Keeping it simple, if you want the request to use the same browsing context as the page you are already looking at then in the Chrome console just do:

window.location="https://www.example.com";

if you use jquery on you website, you can use something like this your console

$.post(_x000D_
    'dom/data-home.php',_x000D_
    {_x000D_
    type : "home", id : "0"_x000D_
    },function(data){_x000D_
        console.log(data)_x000D_
    })

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

If you want to do a POST from the same domain, you can always insert a form into the DOM using Developer tools and submit that:

If your web page has jquery in your page, then you can do it writing on chrome developers console:

$.get(
    "somepage.php",
    {paramOne : 1, paramX : 'abc'},
    function(data) {
       alert('page content: ' + data);
    }
);

Its jquery way of doing it!

To GET requests with headers, use this format.

   fetch('http://example.com', {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: new Headers({
               'Content-Type': 'application/json',
               'someheader': 'headervalue'
               })
    })
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(console.log)

I had the best luck combining two of the answers above. Navigate to the site in Chrome, then find the request on the Network tab of DevTools. Right click the request and Copy, but Copy as fetch instead of cURL. You can paste the fetch code directly into the DevTools console and edit it, instead of using the command line.

If you want to edit and reissue a request that you have captured in Chrome Developer Tools' Network tab:

• Right-click the Name of the request
• Select Copy > Copy as cURL
• Paste to the command line (command includes cookies and headers)
• Edit request as needed and run

Expanding on @dhfsk answer

Here's my workflow

1. From Chrome DevTools, right-click the request you want to manipulate > Copy as cURL

2. Open Postman

3. Click Import in the upper-left corner then Paste Raw Text

Yes, there is a way without any 3rd party extension.

I've built javascript-snippet (which you can add as browser-bookmark) and then activate on any site to monitor & modify the requests. :

I know, old post ... but it might be helpful to leave this here.

Modern browsers are now supporting the Fetch API.

You can use it like this:

fetch("<url>")
    .then(data => data.json()) // could be .text() or .blob() depending on the data you are expecting
    .then(console.log); // print your data

ps: It will make all CORS checks, since it's an improved XmlHttpRequest.
