I've found it relatively straight forward to reverse engineer SPA requests however with server side rendered apps, yow would your service handle that?

#12Will this work for SSR applications? e.g. think old school net or jsp apps which make network requests then receive HTML which then needs to be parsed in order to understand the key pieces of information and then additional network requests?

Would be cool to use a proxy to MITM to twiddle the bits (with its own API) if the use case isn't supported by a browser or robotic process automation driving the app's client side UX.

#16Do you also support internal APIs of mobile applications? If so, how do you deal with AppCheck / PlayIntegrity / Android Key Attestation / Apple App Attest?

#17I just noticed over the weekend new Claude agreed to reverse engineer a graphql server with introspection turned off, something Im pretty sure it would have refused for ethical reasons before the new version it kept writing scripts, i would paste the output, and it would keep going, until it was able to create its own working discount code on an actual retail website The only issue with these kinds of things is break…
Regarding the legality aspects — really appreciate you mentioning this — we’ve put a lot of thought into these issues, and it’s something we’re continually working on and refining.
Ultimately, our goal is to allow each developer to make their own informed decision regarding the policies of the platforms that they're working with. There are situations where unofficial APIs can be both legal and beneficial, such as when they're used to access data that the end user rightfully owns and controls.
For our hosted service, we aim to balance serving legitimate data needs with safeguarding against bad actors, and we’re fully aware this can be a tricky line to navigate. What this looks like in reality would be to prioritize use cases where the end-user truly owns the data. But we know this is not always black-and-white, and will come up with the right legal language as you recommended. What does help our case is that many companies are making unofficial APIs for their own purposes, so there are legal precedents that we can refer to.

#18This is really awesome. There's several platforms that intentionally gate keep their API and it makes really annoying to build integrations with them. How do you go about these platforms and not breaking their TOS?

#20Nice work, congrats! How do you deal with security related stuff like recaptcha, signed requests and so on? Do you also support internal APIs of mobile applications? If so, how do you deal with AppCheck / PlayIntegrity / Android Key Attestation / Apple App Attest?
We do not directly support APIs for mobile applications; however, if you use MITM software and get all the network requests into a .har file, Integuru should work as expected. We do not handle AppCheck ATM at the moment unfortunately.
