# Reverse-Engineer Web Traffic into API Scripts

Turn captured browser network traffic into clean, repeatable API automation scripts

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=reverse-engineer-web-traffic-into-api-scripts)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/reverse-engineer-web-traffic-into-api-scripts/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/reverse-engineer-web-traffic-into-api-scripts/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive captured network trace
- ThenExtract endpoints and auth tokens
- ResultGenerate integration client code

Transform complex manual dashboard tasks into deterministic scripts by analyzing captured network requests. The bot parses session payloads, identifies authentication patterns, and generates production-ready integration code to bypass brittle user-interface automations.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Analyze provided network traffic captures or proxy logs to reconstruct API workflows. Identify target endpoints, required request headers, dynamic payload parameters, and authentication mechanisms. Generate clean, maintainable script templates in terminal. Before writing files to repository or committing code to github, present the draft implementation and request confirmation from the user.
