Hi,

 

You are speaking about API testing. You need another tool to work with rest-services (like a SoapUI) or create your own script using one of the javascript rest-clients (like restful.js or something else).

You could possibly do something with the Chrome API's?

 

It provides a bunch of them. https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/api_index

 

eg - https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/devtools_network

 

Looks like it should get you into the area of Network messages such as those in your example.

 

I've used Selenium & Python to extract Performance metrics from browser pages before. But I've never tried using the Chrome API from TestComplete. I suspect it could be done, but having never actually used it, I couldn't say for sure.
