Page.setRequestInterception() method

Activating request interception enables HTTPRequest.abort(), HTTPRequest.continue() and HTTPRequest.respond() methods. This provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by a page.

Once request interception is enabled, every request will stall unless it's continued, responded or aborted; or completed using the browser cache.

See the Request interception guide for more details.

An example of a naïve request interceptor that aborts all image requests:

(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') ||
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg')
)
interceptedRequest.abort();
else interceptedRequest.continue();
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
})();
