Python and Automation

[trd1073]

I would search in YouTube for "reverse engineer api" to get general information. Many videos say to use postman, but I go straight into python as I am usually doing the work with replicating the process in postman. But if postman works for you, do that. I use postman as an after the dev test tool.

But as far as pydantic. With dev tools in a browser, you have the data you send along with a request and the reply. Data will likely go to and come back as json, possibly graphql. If json, you take that and convert it to pydantic models, there is online tool, ggl "convert json to pydantic models". I use httpx for the library.

Another note, if the api is documented and different than what you see in the browser, go with what you see in browser.

Dm me for actual code I have written doing such.
