Day 5 of building ScrapeForge

Today felt like hitting a goldmine.

I figured out a practical way to reverse engineer backend APIs and access data directly before it is consumed by the frontend.

What really stood out was how many applications expose these APIs with limited safeguards or monitoring in place.

This was a strong reminder that APIs are often the weakest link in many systems.

Lesson from today: always protect your APIs and watch for suspicious usage.

On to Day 6.
