Go to the ‘Network’ tab.

3. Filter and select the main HTML request 

In the list of requests, find the one corresponding to the HTML page loaded (usually the first or the one with the ‘document’ type).

Click on the selected request.

In the ‘Headers’ tab, look for the ‘X-Unique-Id’ field.

Copy this value: this is the requestID.
