Accessing weblogs via Selenium

Question

I am using Selenium via Java.

I am trying to test third party tracking and I am wondering if there is a way to access the network logs so that I can verify that a specific request came in?

For example, is there a way to access the network tab in the console via Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Selenium can only do what user can do in the browser (that's the whole point).

So if user can access logs from the browser (which will have to be a service by that third party), you can do it with selenium. If not, you cannot (so your logs are safe from any lurker).
