Convert a HTTP Archive (HAR) file to a CSV (or TSV) using jq. Script heavily inspired by Google's har2csv (which requires node) by Ayman Farhat, and also a passing comment by Andy Davies.

The script ignores fields that are not essential for analyzing requests/responses such as content and those that might carry private information such as cookies.

# Install jq
$ brew install jq

# Clone the repo, make sure scripts are executable
$ chmod +x har2csv.jq
$ chmod +x har2tsv.jq

# Run CSV
$ ./har2csv.jq input.har > output.csv

# Run TSV
$ ./har2tsv.jq input.har > output.tsv

Example using Chrome:

• Open the Dev Tools panel via Ctrl + Shift + i
• Click the “Network” menu item on the top menu bar of the panel
• The HTTP session is recorded by default, navigate to the pages / resources you're inspecting
• Once ready to export the data, right-click anywhere on the list of items in the Network resource list and select “Save all as HAR with content”

Note: Entries that don't match the above fields / paths are not included in the result CSV/TSV files
