Oh boy, such fun. The chrome inspector is probably the most awesome thing about browsers.

For mobile apps, it takes a lot more gymnastics, and you have to use something like Charles proxy.

But once you get the API, it's very exciting and can potentially save you a lot of money in API subscriptions!

Hope this wouldn't be prosecutable as hacking?

It is, but more likely he’ll get fired by his current employer which according to his Twitter profile is Yelp.

Fired? If Yelp has any sense, they’ll add this as a feature. “Ice Cream Available” status on all McDonalds Yelp pages.
