Get Title
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The Get Title command of the WebDriver API returns the document title of the current top-level browsing context. This is equivalent to reading the Document.title property in JavaScript.

Examples
Retrieving the page title
With a WebDriver server running on localhost:4444, assume an active session has navigated to https://example.org. You can retrieve the document title by using the following command, replacing ID with the sessionId from the New Session response:
curl -i http://localhost:4444/session/ID/title
The server responds with the document title as shown here:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{"value":"Example Domain"}
