APIRequestContext request methods type JSON responses
Introduced 2026-09-04 · score 0.98
HOW TO USE IT
For a typed API request in Playwright v1.63.0 or later, pass the response type to `request.get<T>(url)` and use `response.json()` as `T`.
const response = await request.get<User>('/api/users/42');
const user = await response.json();WHY THIS HELPS
Make a typed API request in a test and use the typed JSON response.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v1.63.0
- T (type argument) (required): Types the response from `json()`; use the expected response type, such as `User`.
- url (required): Target URL for the GET request.
- Prerequisite: Playwright v1.63.0 or later; the typed request method behavior was added in v1.63.
