I've done a lot of reverse-engineering of websites and thought a lot of the work could be made more generic. WrapAPI is an attempt to generalize a lot of the work needed to simulate actions on websites.
There are basically 4 steps:
1. Capture sample requests to serve as a reference - this is similar to how one might use the Chrome Developer Tools or a packet sniffer to capture sample requests to the app
2. Specify inputs - parametrize the inputs so that you can switch out arguments passed to the webpage
3. Extract outputs - we have Kimono-like visual tools to select the outputs from the webpage via CSS, JSON, and Regexp selectors
4. Test it out - try it to ensure everything's working
In addition, we want users to be able to share and publish the work, so we've added that too.

- brbsix 11y agoI've installed the Chrome extension and now see the following error when I click on the extension: http://i.imgur.com/TlJXFJm.png http://i.imgur.com/TlJXFJm.png http://i.imgur.com/q6KIE1J.png http://i.imgur.com/q6KIE1J.png Any tips? I'm not really sure what it's doing but I checked `netstat` and nothing appears to be listening on 127.0.0.1:60876.
- mod 11y agoIs there a way to discover existing apis built with wrapapi? Without knowing what to search for, I'd love to browse for some ideas.
