GitHub tool turns any app's traffic into a Python SDK

littledivy/mimic hit 1,070 stars in three days after its July 13 release. The project is MIT licensed, so anyone can point it at any app they can route through a proxy.

The tool captures a mobile app's HTTP traffic through mitmproxy, cURL, or HAR files, then pulls the auth tokens and session data out of it. It hands that capture to Claude, which writes back a Python client with named methods for whatever endpoints it found. You never touch API documentation, because none is required.

The README walks through wrapping Hinge. The project itself says the dating app is the demo, not the point.

mimic stops working in two places. Certificate pinning breaks the interception outright. Sender-constrained tokens, ones tied to the device or session that requested them, won't survive being replayed from a generated client.

The project doesn't say anything about terms of service or legal exposure. Building a client this way against a company's app almost certainly violates that company's ToS. Depending on what the endpoints touch, it could go further than that. mimic ships the capability and leaves the judgment call to whoever runs it.
