autorequests 1.0.0

Automatically create a simple API wrapper from requests generated by your browser.

autorequests

Autorequests provides an easy way to create a simple API wrapper from data generated by your browser.

Showcase

** the website shown in this example is imperialb.in

Example Use Cases

• Creating a foundation for an API wrapper
• Testing what cookies / headers are required for a server to understand your request

How to Copy Data

1. Do an action on a website that causes a web request to be sent.
2. Right-click --> Copy-As --> Node.JS Fetch

🖥️ Command Line

$ autorequests --help

directory control

  -i, --input           Input Directory
  -o, --output          Output Directory

parsing control

  --no-headers          Removes all headers from the operation
  --no-cookies          Removes all cookies from the operation

🚩 Known Issues

• Method names are parsed from the url, but if the URL doesn't have any paths with a valid method name, an invalid method name will be used.
• Sometimes when copying fetches from the browser, some important headers aren't including, causing the resulting API wrapper to fail requests.

📅 Planned Features

• converting camelCased method names to snake_case.
• replace hardcoded values with parameters that have default values.
• detecting base paths (like /api/v1) and setting that in the class constructor. (maybe).
• the ability to parse other formats of data from the browser (not just fetches).
