Detect API calls in a web page — sniff • apisniffer

Load a page, wait for API calls to complete, and return data about the results.

Usage

sniff(url, ..., min_wait = 8, max_wait = 60)

Arguments

url: The URL to load.
...: These dots are for future extensions and must be empty.
min_wait: The minimum number of seconds to wait for API calls to begin. The default 8 seconds worked for the 2 pages I have tested so far.
max_wait: The maximum number of seconds to wait for API calls to complete. If there are still calls happening when this time is reached, they will be stopped and ignored.

Value

A messy list that will eventually tell you useful information about API calls.
