Capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from NodeJS with Proxyman
Last updated
Proxyman v4.7.0 or later can capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from NodeJS 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
Open Proxyman -> Setup Menu -> Automatic Setup
Click on "Open New Terminal"
Accept the Apple Script permission prompt if needed
The New Terminal app is launched -> You can start your NodeJS Backend Server, or Run scripts => Proxyman automatically captures all traffic.
For example:
Done ✅
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

Get SSL Error from HTTPS Requests
By default, all HTTP/HTTPS requests which are called from your NodeJS library don't go through HTTP Proxy Server. Thus, Proxyman could not capture the traffic.
Install global-agent package
2. At the top of your NodeJS code, add the following code:
3. Add this env to your current bash. Make sure Proxyman is listening at port 9090
4. Done ✅
Run your NodeJS Script again and the HTTP/HTTPS request would appear on the Proxyman app.
According to Axios Documentation, we can simply provide the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment.
Click on the Proxyman Status Menu
Copy Shell Command
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
On the same Terminal -> Start your NodeJS Server with axios.
Axios will proxy the traffic to Proxyman.
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.
