When you load a web page, it often calls APIs to populate the page with data. If you know what you’re looking for, you can use Chrome Devtools to find these API calls. This package aims to automate that process.
This package is extremely experimental. The data returned by the main
sniff() function will definitely change in upcoming versions (to be
more useful and user-friendly). You also can’t currently interact with
the page, which in a lot of cases means you can’t actually trigger the
API calls of interest. But it’s a start!
