API Snitch

About

API Snitch captures network requests from any website and automatically generates production-ready TypeScript client code. Stop writing boilerplate API clients—let API Snitch do it for you.

FEATURES:

  • Record API Calls
  Capture all network requests using Chrome's Debugger API. Simply click Record, browse the site, and stop when done.

  • Inspect Requests
  View detailed headers, query parameters, and request/response bodies with syntax highlighting. Filter by HTTP method, content type, or search terms.

  • Generate TypeScript
  Automatically create fully-typed API client functions from your captured requests. Includes TypeScript interfaces inferred from actual responses.

  • Secret Detection
  API Snitch automatically detects API keys, bearer tokens, and other secrets in your requests. Choose to replace them with environment variables or placeholders.

  • Test Before Download
  Run your generated code in a sandboxed environment to verify it works before downloading.

  • Export Ready-to-Run
  Download a complete project including package.json, tsconfig.json, types, and usage instructions. Just run `npx tsx index.ts` to execute.

  2. Press Record and browse the website
  3. Stop recording when you've captured the requests you need
  4. Select which requests to include
  5. Generate and preview your TypeScript code
