Summary

Publishes an MQTT request asking the remote Playwright session to read a named DOM attribute from a page element. Optionally waits for the response and returns it with the node’s output data.

Inputs

• Topic (required) — MQTT topic used to route the request.
• Remote Port (required) — CDP port identifying the client session; can be mapped from an upstream profile-opening node’s remote_debugging_port.
• QoS — MQTT delivery quality, from at most once (0) to exactly once (2).
• Target — Element selector, such as css=button; may be left blank.
• XPath — XPath selector for the element; may be left blank.
• Attribute (required) — Attribute name to read, such as href, value, or data-id.
• Timeout (sec) — Maximum time to wait for the element action; defaults to 30 seconds.
• Include Input Items — When enabled, attaches selected upstream item fields under payload.inputItems; field paths can include nested properties and array indexes.
• Wait For Response — When enabled, waits for the MQTT response before producing output; otherwise the request is published without waiting.
• Response Timeout (sec) — Maximum wait for the MQTT response when waiting is enabled; defaults to 60 seconds.
• Delay Next Step (ms) — Delay before continuing, after the response if waiting or after publishing otherwise; supports expressions such as rand(200,1000).

Output shape

A single output item containing the parsed response payload when waiting for a response; without waiting, output depends on the publish-only path.

The operation requests the attribute value from the selected page element. The supplied source is a signature-level view and omits the relevant method bodies, so the exact output fields and publish-only output shape are not visible.
