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. ## Example An example of a naïve request interceptor that aborts all image requests: ```js const puppeteer = require('puppeteer'); (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(); })(); ``` NOTE: Enabling request interception disables page caching.
