Console

Capture the JavaScript console output a page produces as it loads — errors, warnings and uncaught exceptions. Useful for monitoring third-party scripts, catching regressions and health-checking your own pages.

This is a web operation — no AI, metered against your web allowance.

Capture console messages

Body parameters

Name
url
Type
string
Required
Required
Description
The absolute URL of the page to process. Rendered with headless Chrome, so JavaScript runs and redirects are followed. It must not include a username or password (https://user:pass@example.com).
Name
report_to
Type
string
Description
Webhook URL — an http or https address URLpipe POSTs the result to when it's ready. Optional: without it we deliver to your project's default endpoint if it has one, and otherwise send no webhook at all — the result still waits for you at GET /result/:token. A value we cannot deliver to returns 422. Ignored on a sync=true request. Deliveries can be signed so your endpoint can verify they came from us.
Name
sync
Type
boolean
Description
Process the request synchronously, returning the result inline in the response. Defaults to false (async: return a token now, and either receive the result at a webhook or fetch it with GET /result/:token). See Async & sync modes for the full contract.
Name
max_age
Type
string | integer
Description
How fresh a cached result must be to be accepted. Either an integer number of seconds (3600) or a duration string of the form "<number> <unit>" — units s/min/h/d/w (e.g. "2 hours", "3 days", "30m"). Defaults to 7 days, clamped to a max of 30 days; 0 always bypasses the cache. See Caching for all accepted units.

Response

Content type application/json — an array of message objects. An empty array [] means the page produced no errors or warnings.

Message fields

  body: JSON.stringify({ url: "https://example.com" }),

$ch = curl_init("https://urlpipe.dev/console");
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Content-Type: application/json",
    ],
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode(["url" => "https://example.com"]),
]);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Response

    "type": "error",
    "text": "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()"
  },
  {
    "type": "warning",
    "text": "A cookie was set with `SameSite=None` but without `Secure`"
  },
  {
    "type": "exception",
    "text": "ReferenceError: bar is not defined"
  }
]

Message types

Name
error
Description
From console.error() calls and failed resource loads.
Name
warning
Description
From console.warn() calls and browser deprecation warnings.
Name
exception
Description
Uncaught JavaScript exceptions caught via window.onerror.

How it works

URLpipe loads the page in a headless browser, listens for console errors, warnings and uncaught exceptions, then waits briefly after the page's network activity settles so asynchronous scripts have time to run and report. All captured messages are returned together.

Responses

Whatever the status, the response carries metadata headers: the result token, whether it was served from cache and how old that result is, how long we took, and the quota you have left.

Status

When

Body

200 OK

The request succeeded.

Sync: the result, in this endpoint's format (see Response above). Async: a job token — { "token": "…", "status": "accepted" }.

422 Unprocessable Entity

The analysis failed, or a parameter was invalid (a bad max_age, or a report_to we will not deliver to).

{ "error": "<message>" }

429 Too Many Requests

You've hit your monthly quota for this operation's category (checked only on a cache miss).

{ "error": "quota_exceeded", "category", "limit", "used", "resets_at" }

504 Gateway Timeout

Sync only: the analysis didn't finish within 60s. It keeps running — fetch it via GET /result/:token.

{ "error": "processing_timeout", "token": "…" }

401 Unauthorized

Missing or invalid API key.
