apisniff
Probe API infrastructure, capture live traffic through a local proxy, generate OpenAPI specs automatically.
apisniff is a Go CLI that uses Chrome CDP or a MITM proxy to help you map out and reverse-engineer APIs. It includes a lightweight probe function that checks the bot defenses of a site in seconds.
Everything I've built thus far has involved unofficial APIs. My workflow evolved from manually copying/pasting from the Chrome network tab into text files (in my ignorance I did this for months) -> MITM proxy to intercept and record API calls -> adding filtering to reduce the noise -> apisniff.
As AI adoption continues to increase, the population of people who choose to build their own custom tools will only grow. I built apisniff to streamline the learning process for others and to broaden their imagination of what's possible.
