Warriors,

I am not too familiar with software programming. Let's say I have a software program that does a certain task by using an api available on the Internet. Is there any way I am able to find out which api that software program is using to get its data?

I hope you can help.

  • hope not misunderstanding your question,

    because using api mean connect to internet, you can check from your network connection what site / url that being access when you use your program,

    maybe you can put network analyser / network sniffer to see packet / data that goes from your network ..

    • As suggested above, you could use an HTTP Sniffer.

      I use EffeTech HTTP Sniffer (http://www.effetech.com/sniffer/)
      You can download a free trial. I use the piad version..

      Its very handy when you want to know what is happening in the background.

      Hope this helps

    • There's nothing unethical about finding out what servers your own computer is communicating with on the internet.

  • you will need to sniff HTTP traffic and apply a filter for a specific EXE so you only get that traffic....its not easy to do this but it can be done...

    I recommend using a program called WireShark...i've used it before and it works great.
