how to run a code on Chrome DEVTools
I have this very specific scenario on my job where I need to keep refreshing a certain page in my work so it can update new IDs. I thought about making a code that would refresh the page every 5 seconds and only stop when it finds a different ID from the ones already stored.
The problem with this approach is: Every time I run a code, like location.reload(), obviously the page refreshs and both the data and code are lost.
How would this be possible? I thought about using some external file to do that, like VBA libreoffice or even a notepad (we can't download anything), but idk how to do it. Can someone give me a light?
