[har file](https://support.econz.net/customer/google-workspace?hsLang=en#har-file) # How to generate a HAR file? ## Generating HAR files [HAR (HTTP Archive)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAR_(file_format))is a file format used by several HTTP session tools to export the captured data. The format is basically a JSON object with a particular set of fields. Note that not all the fields in the HAR format are mandatory, and in many cases, some information won't be saved to the file. HAR files contain sensitive data! - Content of the pages you downloaded while recording. - Your cookies would allow anyone with the HAR file to impersonate your account. - All the information that you submitted while recording: personal details, passwords, credit card numbers, etc. If needed, you can edit a HAR file in a text editor and redact sensitive information. You can get a capture of an HTTP session in many browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. Steps for generating HAR file for Google Chrome **Step 1: ** Open the Developer Tools from the menu (Menu \> More Tools \> Developer tools), or by pressing F12 (or Fn-F12) on your keyboard. ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Ou0DGnASjPTrLcNSHwE3UScXob0cYN8vAr6I5O-VkFf6rYorLfk-XBVAbYIdKVrq3KTRjTJQOBTamZdPfwqeyJjSd4mIiOaJRH7BCtbOc6fXtGAHo_ItYVBT1B_TRfA9R_pRPENdl_y6R1f3P0StzA) **Step 2:** Click on the Network tab ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/yNCB5mLDNfujq3cwuT8w37aeEEuyhPH4yIOpD9WSSCiLgt37uO1KMYI-ms-q-bImvQHfOh9ZPloMNL8Va0p2Dvb5o7SHc2hThx8BtDX0JiMkALetIB3Lml7MJ6jXMk5crx_EXfjvXLSvJooT1L7ZMw) **Step 3:** Look for a round button at the top left of the Network tab.
