Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Reverse engineer the API for [WEBSITE/APP NAME]. Capture the traffic and document the endpoints, parameters, and response formats. Additionally, generate API client code in [PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE] for easy integration into applications.

Example Output

After analyzing the traffic from the website 'BookStore.com', the following endpoints were identified: 1. GET /api/books - Retrieves a list of books available. Parameters: 'genre' (optional), 'author' (optional). Response: JSON array of book objects with title, author, and price. 2. POST /api/cart - Adds a book to the user’s cart. Parameters: 'bookId' (required), 'quantity' (optional). Response: Confirmation message. The generated API client code in Python is as follows: 

```python
import requests

class BookStoreAPI:
    BASE_URL = 'https://api.bookstore.com'

    def get_books(self, genre=None, author=None):
        response = requests.get(f'{self.BASE_URL}/api/books', params={'genre': genre, 'author': author})
        return response.json()

    def add_to_cart(self, book_id, quantity=1):
        response = requests.post(f'{self.BASE_URL}/api/cart', json={'bookId': book_id, 'quantity': quantity})
        return response.json()
```

This client allows developers to easily interact with the BookStore API, streamlining the integration process.
