mimic is a Python tool that captures traffic from mobile or web apps via mitmproxy, extracts authentication material, and uses AI to generate a plain Python client library for the app's private API. It also provides a hand-rolled Session class for building requests from captured mitm flows or 'Copy as cURL' data.

Use cases

• call a mobile app's private API from Python like a library
• generate a Python client for an undocumented API by capturing traffic
• replay app requests with captured bearer tokens and session cookies
• automate actions in an iOS app programmatically
• script against an API that has no official SDK
• capture and reuse auth headers from mitmproxy flows

When to choose

• you want to script or automate an app whose API is undocumented
• you need a quick Python client generated from real captured traffic
• you're comfortable with mitmproxy certificate setup on iOS or desktop
• you want editable, plain-Python generated clients rather than a black box

When to avoid

• you need a supported, sanctioned integration with a service that offers an official API
• you can't or won't install a trusted MITM proxy certificate
• the target app uses certificate pinning or heavily rotating request signing
• you need production-grade reliability or legal clearance for API automation
