Call response.headers() on Puppeteer’s HTTPResponse object. It returns an object whose header-name keys are lowercase, so use headers['content-type'], not headers['Content-Type'].

Read headers from a page navigation

page.goto() returns the navigation response when one exists. Check that it is not null before calling headers():

const response = await page.goto('https://example.com');

if (response) {
  const headers = response.headers();
  console.log(headers['content-type']);
  console.log(headers);
}

headers() returns a Record<string, string>. All header-name keys are lowercase. The official HTTPResponse.headers() reference is labeled Puppeteer 25.9.0.

Handle a navigation triggered by an action

When a click or other action causes navigation, wait for the navigation and perform the action together. This avoids a timing race in which the code tries to read the response before navigation completes:

const [response] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForNavigation(),
  page.click('a.next'),
]);

const headers = response?.headers();
console.log(headers?.['content-type']);

The optional chaining handles a possible null navigation response. Puppeteer documents page.goto() returning null in cases such as navigating to about:blank or changing only the hash on the same URL. See the Page reference.

Inspect responses beyond the main page

To see headers for requests made by the page—such as an API call or an image request—listen for the page’s response event. Each event supplies an HTTPResponse:

page.on('response', response => {
  console.log(response.url(), response.status(), response.headers());
});

The callback runs for responses as they arrive. Filter by URL or status if you only need a particular request:

page.on('response', response => {
  if (response.url().includes('/api/')) {
    console.log(response.status());
    console.log(response.headers());
  }
});

The HTTPResponse class reference documents url(), status(), headers(), and related response methods. Its page is labeled Puppeteer 25.12.0; check the documentation matching your installed version when exact behavior matters.

Understand casing and repeated header values

  • Use lowercase keys such as content-type and cache-control; do not rely on the original capitalization sent by the server.
  • When a response contains duplicate header values, Puppeteer combines them into a comma-separated value, except Set-Cookie, which is separated with a newline. Do not assume every repeated value remains independently addressable in the returned object.

Do not confuse response headers with request headers

Goal Puppeteer API What it does
Read headers received from a server response.headers() Returns headers on an HTTPResponse.
Read headers associated with an outgoing request request.headers() Returns headers on an HTTPRequest; it is not the response-header API. See the HTTPRequest.headers() reference.
Set extra headers for page requests page.setExtraHTTPHeaders({...}) Configures headers sent with requests initiated by that page. Names are lowercased and header order is not guaranteed. See the Page.setExtraHTTPHeaders() reference.

Use related response methods when needed

headers() is for headers. The same response object also provides status() for the HTTP status code, ok() for whether the response is successful (2xx), url() for its URL, and request() for the associated request. These are useful when diagnosing a response, but they do not replace headers() for reading response headers.

Troubleshoot missing or unexpected headers

  • response is null: Guard the return value from page.goto() or waitForNavigation(). Some navigations, including about:blank and same-URL hash changes, have no navigation response.
  • A header lookup returns undefined: Use the lowercase key, for example headers['content-type']. Also check whether the particular response actually contains that header.
  • You see fewer entries than expected: Repeated values may be combined; ordinary duplicates are comma-separated and Set-Cookie values are newline-separated.
  • You are seeing outgoing values instead: Check that you are calling headers() on an HTTPResponse, not an HTTPRequest, and that you have not mistaken setExtraHTTPHeaders() for a read operation.
  • You need headers from a subrequest: Listen for the page’s response event rather than relying only on the return value from the main navigation.

If your goal is a rendered website capture rather than custom Puppeteer automation, ScreenshotNeo returns a screenshot or PDF with one GET request. Its capture can accept cookie and consent banners and remove more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before the shot; each step can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed, and responses identify the page verdict and billing status. An MCP server provides take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf for AI agents.
