Accessing Your Network Tab

In this simple guide, we will help you access your Autoview.com Trading Extension's network tab, which is located inside the background page (or Dev tools).

This is a powerful debugging tool that can be used to view additional information that the Autoview log may not show.

Sometimes the error in the Log is not at all helpful or potentially broken. Network responses can sometimes contain additional fields that Autoview is not aware of nor checking.

Since we are a decentralized tool, and you are running the software yourself. It is an entirely different machine altogether so sometimes, we may need to reach out and gather more insight.

This will open up a few more options for you to utilize when debugging a more complicated issue you may be having.

How to access the Network Tab

Step 1:

In the top-right hand corner of Chrome, you will find a puzzle piece.

With this extensions menu open, you will be able to pin the Trading Extension for easier use later, as well as visit the Trading Extension's options page.

Note: You will find more information in our Finding the Trading Extension article.

Step 2:

Enable Developer mode and then click the service worker link under the Autoview.com Trading Extension to open up the Dev tools window.

Now that you have the Dev tools window open, click the Network tab.
Note: The network tab will show all communication between your machine and the exchange.
Example: We can select the position call to see what the exchange is telling you about one of the positions you are in.
