Get Title

The Get Title command of the WebDriver API returns the document title of the current top-level browsing context. This is equivalent to reading the {{domxref("Document.title")}} property in JavaScript.

Syntax

URL parameters

• session id
  • : Identifier of the session.

Return value

A string containing the title of the current document, equivalent to the value of {{domxref("Document.title")}}.

Errors

• Invalid session id
  • : Session does not exist.
• No such window
  • : The window object has been discarded, indicating that the tab or window has been closed.

Examples

Retrieving the page title

With a WebDriver server running on localhost:4444, assume an active session has navigated to https://example.org. You can retrieve the document title by using the following command, replacing ID with the sessionId from the New Session response:

curl -i http://localhost:4444/session/ID/title

The server responds with the document title as shown here:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{"value":"Example Domain"}
