How to extract Network Request Header info from page

I'm using nodejs and nightwatchjs to run my test scripts.

I need to devise a test script that will check that a certain piece of information is displayed in the header of a webpage.

Below I have highlighted the information that I need to extract.

Once I've extracted this info, I will then test that a certain value is contained within this 'Headers' information (gpi=UID for example).

enter image description here

Are there any specific nodejs modules that could extract this information?

I've read request package info, but couldn't find a way of extracting the info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looked like cookies is highlighted in your screenshot? If that is what you are after try this method off the browser object https://nightwatchjs.org/api/getCookie.html#apimethod-container

You can use the NightwatchJS API testing plugin so that you can then write a test to do expect against the headers


it('demo test async', async function({supertest}) {
    await supertest
      .request(`https://myUrl.com`)
      .get('<insert the path you want to test here e.g. / >')
      .expect(200)
      .expect('Content-Type', /json/);
  });

The plugin page has a lot more details on it and you can always ask in their discord
