How to capture ajax responses using the Capture Ajax Responses (Regex) URL/Link Action Property.

The Capture Ajax Responses (Regex) URL/Link Action property enables users to directly capture the AJAX responses. This property simplifies the process of capturing specific data from AJAX responses by utilizing regular expressions (Regex).

A regular expression matching URLs for which the Ajax responses are available should be added in the Capture Ajax Responses (Regex) URL/Link Action property which makes the JSON response data available for capturing and loading the responses using the JSON parser. Multiple regular expressions separated by line breaks can be specified.

When we load any URL on a dynamic browser it loads many other requests and their responses along with the original URL request. For example, when we load the web page https://training.sequentum.com/json it also loads multiple Ajax requests and their responses which you can easily see on the Web Browser Activity window as highlighted in the screenshot below:

In the above example, If you want to capture the highlighted Ajax Content you can just open the Web Request Editor by simply double-clicking on the corresponding Activity column and you will be able to open the Web Request Editor window as shown in the screenshot below:

Now, in order to capture the Ajax response for the above URL we can use the request URL to generate our Regex pattern and then we can set the same in the Capture Ajax Responses (Regex) URL/Link Action property to capture all the responses.

We can set the following string in the Regex Box to get all the similar requests while loading the URL on the Dynamic browser and then we can use the args.HtmlDocument.AjaxResponses["string key"] method to filter out the specific Ajax response data that we want to capture.

https://training.sequentum.com/json.*

Using the AjaxResponses

You can use the AjaxResponses SE internal C# scripting method by using the following code

CODE

 args.HtmlDocument.AjaxResponses["string key"];

There could be more than one Ajax response captured through the regex used in the URL/Link Action property while loading the URL on the dynamic browser. We can filter out the responses using the string key "1" or "2" or "3" which will represent the key number in the list of the captured responses.

In the above example when we use the above code in a Calculated Value command to get the captured response, we will get the following JSON data which will be similar to what is shown in the Ajax Content column of the Web Request Editor window:

Further, we can easily load the captured JSON data by simply adding the json:// URL with the captured json data which will allow us to load the data in a JSON parser in the Navigation command.
