Selenium Wire extends Selenium's Python bindings to expose the HTTP/HTTPS requests and responses made by the browser, with APIs to inspect and modify them on the fly. It supports header/body modification, websocket message capture, HAR export, and proxy support, but is no longer maintained.

Use cases

• inspect network requests made by a browser during selenium tests
• capture ajax requests from a web page with python
• modify request headers on the fly in selenium
• export browser traffic as HAR files
• capture websocket messages during browser automation
• assert on api calls triggered by frontend interactions

When to choose

• you need to inspect or modify browser network traffic within existing Selenium Python tests
• you want HAR capture or websocket message capture alongside browser automation

When to avoid

• starting a new project - the project is explicitly unmaintained
• you only need network capture without browser automation (use a proxy or devtools-based tool instead)
• you need support for the latest Selenium or Python versions
