Kalil0321 Reverse Api Engineer
kalil0321-reverse-api-engineer is a Claude Code plugin for the Build phase that captures HTTP traffic, documents reverse-engineered APIs, and generates API clients automatically.
by kalil0321 · github.com/kalil0321/reverse-api-engineer
Install when a site or mobile app exposes behavior you need as a documented API and you want captured traffic turned into clients without manual spelunking.

What it does
kalil0321-reverse-api-engineer is a Claude Code plugin for builders who need to integrate with services that publish no OpenAPI spec—competitor dashboards, legacy portals, or mobile-only backends. The plugin positions an engineer-style agent to record traffic you authorize, distill endpoints and authentication patterns, write documentation you can sanity-check, and scaffold API clients so your SaaS or CLI can call the same routes reliably. It is intentionally narrow: one plugin in the bundle, aimed at integration work rather than full-stack Laravel or DevOps. Solo founders use it to unblock validate-to-build transitions when the only spec is what the browser actually sends. Treat captured traffic and generated clients as drafts that still need legal review and rate-limit testing before production.
Highlights
- Captures live HTTP traffic to infer endpoints, headers, and payloads
- Generates human-readable API documentation from observed calls
- Produces API client code automatically from the inferred contract
- Single-plugin bundle focused on reverse engineering web and app backends
- Agent-driven workflow suited to undocumented or private partner APIs
Why builders use it
You need to automate against a website or app API that ships no public docs, so guessing endpoints wastes days and breaks on every deploy.
You leave a session with captured traffic notes, structured documentation, and starter client code aligned to real requests.
