Reverse API Engineer (github.com)

A new command-line interface (CLI) tool, “Reverse API Engineer,” has been launched, allowing developers to effortlessly capture browser traffic and generate production-ready Python API clients without manual reverse engineering. Utilizing Playwright for browser automation and AI-driven code generation via Claude 4.5, the tool enables users to browse, capture network activity in HTTP Archive (HAR) format, and automatically produce clean, fully documented API code. This tool is significant for the AI/ML community as it streamlines the development process, saving time and reducing potential errors associated with manual coding. Key features include an autonomous agent mode for automated browsing, multi-provider support for various language models, and built-in cost tracking for API usage. With a minimalist interactive CLI and robust configuration options, developers can easily toggle between modes and manage their settings, all the while generating scripts that include error handling and type hints. As a result, “Reverse API Engineer” aims to empower developers to create efficient, reliable API clients while harnessing the latest advancements in AI and automation.
