Recording sequences

Browser Proxy (Recording Only)

The browser proxy is required only during traffic recording. It routes supported browser traffic through the recorder so it can be captured as steps in the sequence.

  • Not needed for preview or timeline execution (these run through Leapwork cloud agents).

  • Disable the proxy when not recording to avoid access errors.

  • The CA certificate is required only when recording encrypted traffic.

Starting a Recording

  1. Open your browser and navigate to the application you want to test.

  2. In Go, click Record.

  3. Choose the hostname you want to capture. You can record:

    • All URLs or

    • Hostname-only (recommended for cleaner recordings).

  4. Click Start recording, then interact with your application (for example, refresh a page or submit a form).

  5. Click Stop when finished to stop the recording.

Go automatically lists each network request as a step. You can expand any step to view details such as:

  • Request and response payloads

  • Headers and parameters

  • Timing metrics and status codes

Manually adding HTTP call

If you already have API requests defined, you can import them directly:

  1. Right-click on an empty space inside a sequence

  2. Click add HTTP call

  3. Go now adds an empty HTTP call for you to add:

    1. Method - choose between GET, POST, PUT and DELETE

    2. URL

    3. Expected request:

      1. Parameters

      2. Headers

      3. Host

      4. Cookies

    4. Expected reponse:

      1. Status code

      2. Cookies

Manually adding cURL

If you already have API requests defined as cURLs, you can import them directly:

  1. Right-click on an empty space inside a sequence

  2. Click Paste cURL as HTTP step

  3. Paste a bash or CMD cURL command.

  4. Go automatically converts it into a structured HTTP step that can be edited, parameterized, and reused.

Previewing Your Recording

Click Preview to execute your sequence. Go will:

  • Run each recorded step.

  • Display real-time execution progress with green indicators for success.

  • Show per-step response times and results.

Once validated, rename your sequence for easy reference.
