SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, pandas, python-dotenv, and includes templates (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Integrating with poorly documented or unofficial web APIs is a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process. This skill automates the reverse engineering of authenticated web APIs from browser DevTools captures, generating production-ready client code with validation and monitoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 7-Step Discovery Protocol: Guides through authentication detection, endpoint analysis, entity mapping, and response validation.
  • Modular Client Generation: Creates authenticated Python clients, API wrappers, and validation scripts from templates.
  • Risk Documentation & Monitoring: Generates confidential technical assessments and sets up daily health checks for API changes and data integrity.
  • Use Case: You need to extract your own data from a web platform that lacks an official API, or automate a manual workflow by interacting with its hidden API.

Quick Start

"Reverse engineer the API for 'NannyLogic' using my DevTools network capture." "Generate a Python client to download all entities from the platform's API."
