View and download network logs for Appium tests

View network logs for your Appium tests on the App Automate dashboard, download them as HAR files, or import them using the REST API.

Network logs are available only for sessions where you enabled network logs.

View network logs on the dashboard

You can view network logs from the test session details page on the App Automate dashboard. To view or download the logs, select Raw Logs.

Import network logs using REST API

You can import the network logs from your test session using the REST API:

For the full request and response reference, see the sessions REST API.

View real-time network logs

If you route your app traffic through a local proxy, such as Charles Proxy, you can view network logs only in real time during the session. To do so, set the browserstackLocal capability, or the browserstack.local capability for non-SDK setups, to true. For detailed setup steps, see Set up Charles Proxy with App Automate.
