I love the tinder API. A few years ago I was planing to shift to another locality in my city but couldn't figure out where. I eventually decided to move to an area with the best looking women. Used the python tinder API to move around the whole city with GPS coordinates while setting the shortest possible radius and saved profile pictures tagging them with geo location. The end result was a database of geolocation ma…

#67Awesome! I tried writing a CLI tool for ordering Chipotle, but I ran into some dynamically generated headers, that made it near impossible to authenticate. In the end, I gave up. Would love to see more examples and see how issues like this can be handled!
I’ve had this come up a few times when doing API snooping, and what I’ve done is decompiling the Android version (if available) of their app using jadx [1]. You get pretty legible Java, sometimes with Kotlin artifacts, sometimes with obfuscation, but in combination with some MITM snooping you can see how auth/headers/hashes are done. Sometimes you even find internal API endpoints with a security issue or two. [1]: ht…
I've used jadx once before to decompile a steamship line app, but it was just curiosity with no end goal in mind. Didn't try it with the chipotle app.
Next project!

I think you misunderstand what this repo calls an "API". The Coinbase "API" in this repo isn't the protocol (eg an HTTP REST API implementation), but the 3rd party Python library which speaks the protocol[1]. [1] https://github.com/danpaquin/coinbasepro-python
I must be lost then. The python code is an implementation of a program that uses the Coinbase API to make trades, fetch market data, etc. In my day, we'd call that a Program, Library or an SDK. Definitely wouldn't call that an "Unofficial API". When I think of "Unofficial API", I think of an API that wasn't intended for public use and is undocumented and supported by the company. Like the Pandora API some music playe…
These implementations are there for devs to save time and simply import the API implementation as a module and use already made functions to do the API calls
