Playwright not able to intercept all requests - node.js

Question

const { webkit } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch({ headless: false });
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
// Log and continue all network requests
page.route('**', route => {
console.log(route.request());
route.continue();
});
await page.goto('https://www.sahibinden.com');
//await browser.close();
})();
When I open it in incognito window and intercept using fiddler I am able to get these headers:

But Im unable to get these headers by executing above code. How do I get these?
Edit:
I used the answer and it works fine. There is only one missing part.
page.route('**', route => {
const request = route.request()
//console.log(request.url(), JSON.stringify(request.headers()));
return route.continue();
});
let pageRes = await page.goto(url);
await page.waitForTimeout(3 * 1000)
//await page.unroute("**");
return pageRes;
When I print PageRes.request().headers() it doesnt give j3pop headers.It simply gives
{
accept: 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_4) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.2 Safari/605.1.15'
}
Edit:
This is what I tried in interactive Playwright
const { webkit } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
// Log and continue all network requests
headers = {}
page.route('**/*', route => {
const request = route.request()
console.log(request.url(), JSON.stringify(request.headers()));
headers = JSON.stringify(request.headers());
return route.continue();
});
let url = await page.goto('https://www.sahibinden.com/en/cars?sorting=date_desc');
console.log("headerw");
console.log(headers)
await page.waitForTimeout(3 * 1000)
await browser.close();
})();
headers isn't giving me the j3pop headers

Answer 1

The issue is, that the requests will be made, after the page is fully loaded from the browser perspective. So you have to either use something like waitForTimeout which waits X milliseconds or use waitForSelector if you have an element which will in the end appear after your request was made.
See this slightly modified example, which waits additional 3 seconds and logs then your request with the special headers to the console.
const { webkit } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
// Log and continue all network requests
await page.route('**', route => {
const request = route.request()
console.log(request.url(), JSON.stringify(request.headers()));
return route.continue();
});
await page.goto('https://www.sahibinden.com');
await page.waitForTimeout(3 * 1000)
await browser.close();
})();

Answer 2

You need to add await before page.route(... or else routing may not be setup yet when page.goto runs.
