SocialAPIs Network Inspector
v3.1.1 Updated Mar 13, 2026 21.1KiB
⚠️Requests 1 sensitive permission ✅Recently updated
Description
Discover hidden APIs on any website. Record every network request — including ones behind login walls, bot protection, and single-page apps — then generate production-ready code in seconds.
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
Click the extension icon and hit "Start Recording"
Browse any page — the extension captures every request
Click "Stop" then "Send to Network Inspector"
Browse captured requests, filter by API calls, and generate code
⚡ KEY FEATURES
Full response body capture — see the actual data returned by every API call
Works behind login walls — capture requests from authenticated sessions
Smart API detection — automatically identifies API calls vs static assets
Search inside response bodies — find the exact endpoint returning your data
5 code languages — cURL, Python, JavaScript, Java, Go
JSON Path Selector — click fields in a JSON tree to generate extraction code
Visual Selector — point-and-click CSS selector generation for HTML responses
One-click test — replay any captured request directly from the inspector
Full pipeline code — generates complete fetch + extract scripts, not just snippets
🧰 BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS AND DATA TEAMS
Whether you're reverse-engineering an undocumented API, building a scraper, debugging integrations, or just curious what data a page is loading — this tool saves hours of manual DevTools work.
Unlike browser DevTools, the Network Inspector:
Captures full response bodies (DevTools often truncates)
Lets you search inside response data
Generates copy-paste-ready code in your language
Sends data to SocialAPIs tools (JSON Selector, Visual Selector) for deeper extraction
🔒 PRIVACY
All data stays in your browser — nothing is sent to any server during capture
Response data is only transmitted to socialapis.io when you explicitly click "Send to Network Inspector"
No tracking, no analytics on captured data
Open source extension code
📋 WORKS ON
Any website — including SPAs, login-walled pages, and sites with bot protection
REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, WebSocket messages
JSON, HTML, XML, and form-encoded responses
Part of the SocialAPIs Scraping Studio — a complete toolkit for API discovery, data extraction, and code generation.
