# How to Record Requests

This page provides a guide on how to configure the [agent](https://docs.stoobly.com/core-concepts/agent) to create cequests.

## Background

{% content-ref url="../core-concepts/mock-api/requests" %}
[requests](https://docs.stoobly.com/core-concepts/mock-api/requests)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Prerequisites

1. [Run the agent](https://docs.stoobly.com/guides/how-to-run-the-agent)
2. [Configure the agent](https://docs.stoobly.com/guides/proxy-configuration)

## Getting Started

### Create a Scenario

{% endcontent-ref %}

[recording-from-the-ui](https://docs.stoobly.com/guides/how-to-record-requests/recording-from-the-ui)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="how-to-record-requests/recording-from-the-cli" %}
[recording-from-the-cli](https://docs.stoobly.com/guides/how-to-record-requests/recording-from-the-cli)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Configure Recording

By default, no additional configuration is needed. However, to configure recording to specific needs, please see:

{% content-ref url="../core-concepts/agent/proxy-settings" %}
[proxy-settings](https://docs.stoobly.com/core-concepts/agent/proxy-settings)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Send Requests

The following are some suggested ways to send requests to for Stoobly to intercept and record:

* Navigate to your application's web interface
* Send requests with cURL
* Run existing test suites

After sending requests, they are intercepted by the agent and then recorded. You should then see the requests appear in the Stoobly UI.
