How to copy Request Payload in Chrome on Mac?

Came to your question having the same problem.

My solution: Select the text with your mouse pointer and make sure you are not selecting more than the whole content, then try again.

I was selecting more than the contents by triple clicking it and it wouldn't let me copy, probably a bug in chrome.


  1. Click on Network tab, click on item you are concerned with in the Name column. reference1
  2. Click on the payload content so that it highlights it in blue. reference2
  3. Click and drag mouse over content you want to copy, then ctl+c or right click -> copy reference image3

you can switch between view-source and view-parsed. They are clickable options.
