How to access the values of Chrome's Dev tools Network tab's Request or summary using Selenium in python/java?

Question

I\'m using chrome option to access the performance logging using selenium, I\'m trying to write a code that would help me figure out the total number of the http request and

Answer 1

I"m not sure on calculating total weight of the page but obtaining total number of request sent to the server is possible

Use https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy and add the proxy to the desired_capabilities, once the script finished, dump the har file to json and get all the request

in python:

from browsermobproxy import Server
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import json

server = Server('path to the proxy server file')
server.start()
proxy = server.create_proxy()

options = Options()
options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={proxy.proxy}')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('path to chromedriver', desired_capabilities=options.to_capabilities())

proxy.new_har()
driver.get('https://www.google.com')

result = json.dumps(proxy.har)
json_data = json.loads(result)

request= [x for x in json_data['log']['entries']]
server.stop()
driver.close()
