If you look at the “network” tab of developer tools while you run that snippet
you’ll see that it generates the same underlying HTTP request as we’ve
discussed earlier in the thread.

Chrome isn’t particularly easy to automate; you’d probably need to write an
extension.

Because your original post mentioned that you wanted to do display a tiddler
“from an external script”. The most direct way for an external script to
interact with TiddlyWiki under Node.js is the HTTP interface.
The issue you ran into whereby the change you made on the server wasn’t
propagated to the browser is because the default polling interval is 60
seconds. You can manually force a poll by clicking the “refresh” button in the
“Server” tab of control panel.
Best wishes
Jeremy.
