SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the guesswork of figuring out how a web service works by automatically recording what its browser calls during real user flows, turning that into an actionable API surface map.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API surface discovery: Records discovered endpoints and groups them by resource type based on observed traffic.
  • Auth and integration insights: Highlights authentication patterns (cookies, bearer tokens, API keys), CRUD operations, HTTP methods, and pagination or rate-limit behaviors.
  • Use case: When you need to integrate with a service like Notion or Figma, you can map the relevant workflow (e.g., create/edit objects) and then generate a tailored integration plan.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to map a target service and return a JSON summary of discovered endpoints after a short recording session.

Frequently Asked Questions about api-mapping

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I discover web service endpoints from browser network traffic?▼

You map the API surface by recording browser network traffic during an automated or user-driven browsing session. This captures observed requests and groups discovered endpoints by resource type for analysis.

Can I detect authentication patterns like bearer tokens and cookies for an API integration?▼

Yes, API mapping analyzes recorded network traffic to detect authentication patterns. It highlights cookies, bearer tokens, API keys, and CRUD operations to help you understand how a target web service authenticates requests.

What is the best way to document an unknown API surface for services like Notion or Figma?▼

Recording browser network traffic is an effective way to document an unknown API surface. You map a specific workflow, like creating or editing objects, and generate a structured JSON summary of discovered endpoints for integration planning.

Do I need command line access to export discovered endpoints as JSON?▼

Yes, exporting discovered endpoints as JSON requires running the map CLI with the --json flag. This produces a structured JSON summary of discovered endpoints and requires host_bash access to execute the recording session.

Does API mapping identify pagination and rate limit behaviors from observed traffic?▼

API mapping identifies pagination and rate-limit behaviors by analyzing observed network traffic. It extracts these behaviors alongside HTTP methods and CRUD operations to provide a complete picture of the target web service API surface.
