NodeJS
Capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from NodeJS
Proxyman v4.7.0 or later can capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from Python with 1-click.
- 1-click solution: No need to manually set HTTP Proxy config or trust the self-signed certificate.
- Support many NodeJS libraries: axios, got, superagent, fetch and node-fetch
- 1.Open Proxyman -> Setup Menu -> Automatic Setup
- 2.Click on "Open New Terminal"
- 3.Accept the Apple Script permission prompt if needed
- 4.The New Terminal app is launched -> You can start your NodeJS Backend Server, or Run scripts => Proxyman automatically captures all traffic.
- 5.Done ✅

Capture NodeJS Traffic
Please check out the Automatic Setup page:
There are common problems when using NodeJS + Proxyman:
If you're using NodeJS to serve a localhost website (e.g http://localhost:3000), Proxyman might not work. For example: Use ExpressJS to serve an API Server at http://localhost:3000
Please checkout this solution.
By default, all HTTP/HTTPS Request which is called from your NodeJS library doesn't go through HTTP Proxy Server. Thus, Proxyman could not capture the traffic.
- 1.
npm install global-agent
2. At the top of your NodeJS code, add the following code:
import { bootstrap } from 'global-agent';
bootstrap();
process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = '0';
3. Add this env to your current bash. Make sure Proxyman is listening at port 9090
export GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:9090
4. Done ✅
Run your NodeJS Script again and the HTTP/HTTPS request would appear on the Proxyman app.
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
// Setup global-agent
import { bootstrap } from 'global-agent';
bootstrap();
process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = '0';
// fetch the data
const response = await fetch('https://httpbin.org/get?id=123');
const data = await response.json();
// Done
console.log(data);
According to Axios Documentation, we can simply provide the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment.
- 1.Click on the Proxyman Status Menu
- 2.Copy Shell Command

- 3.Open the Terminal and run the paste content: For example export https_proxy=http://192.168.1.103:9090 http_proxy=http://192.168.1.103:9090
- 4.On the same Terminal -> Start your NodeJS Server with axios.
- 5.Axios will proxy the traffic to Proxyman.
- 6.Done ✅
If you're not using fetch or axios, the configuration might be different. Please check out your lib Document to see how to set the proxy and trust the Proxyman certificate.
