FAQPage Schema
How do I capture and inspect HTTP/HTTPS traffic from macOS desktop apps?▼

To inspect HTTP/HTTPS traffic from macOS apps, route the application network requests through a local proxy session to intercept and analyze client-server interactions for debugging.

Can I export captured API traffic to HAR or JSON for analysis with jq?▼

Yes, captured HTTP/HTTPS traffic can be exported as HAR or JSON formats, allowing developers and QA teams to analyze the intercepted network data using command-line tools like jq.

Do I need the Proxyman GUI running to intercept CLI tool traffic?▼

Yes, capturing CLI tool traffic requires the Proxyman GUI running to start a proxy session, alongside proxyman-cli access and environment variables to route the network traffic correctly.

What is the best way to reverse-engineer API interactions for SDK development?▼

Reverse-engineering API interactions involves intercepting HTTP/HTTPS traffic from the target application or CLI tool, inspecting the requests and responses, and exporting the data for analysis.

How does configuring environment variables automate traffic routing for debugging?▼

Configuring environment variables directs application and CLI tool traffic through the local proxy, enabling automated capture and inspection of HTTP/HTTPS requests without manual intervention.
