CDP API traffic capture: public launch
api-testingrelease
Starting with version 1.4.0, Progon intercepts network requests via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) directly during scenario recording.
What’s new
- Every XHR and fetch made during recording is captured as a separate API step.
- Each step contains: method, URL, request body, headers, and the actual server response.
- During playback, Progon repeats the same request and compares the response against the expected value.
Why this matters
UI tests and API tests used to live in separate tools. Now a single Progon scenario covers both the user journey and the API layer — no need to set up Postman, pytest, or a separate framework.
How to get started
Enable the “Network interception” permission in the extension settings → start recording → perform actions in the browser → API steps will appear in the scenario automatically.
