Where it stands
Rank, growth pace and release cadence relative to everything GStars tracks.
The project lists 6 contributors on GitHub.
Peaked at #94 in the weekly ranking the week of Oct 11, its best in the past year.
Use Cases & Benefits
- Intercepts app network traffic to generate Python clients that call the app's API like a native library.
- Enables seamless API interaction by capturing real authenticated sessions and auto-generating client code without manual endpoint coding.
- Use for automating interactions with mobile apps by replaying captured authenticated API calls in Python scripts.
- Use for reverse engineering undocumented APIs by capturing and analyzing app traffic to generate usable client libraries.
- Use for testing and scripting workflows on apps without official SDKs by replaying recorded sessions and requests.

From the README
Intercept any app, then call it from Python like a library.
You don't write
hinge_client.py. mimic captures your own app traffic and an AI generates the client from it.Most apps authenticate every request with the same bundle of values: a bearer token, some device ids, a session id, cookies. They're stable across calls. Capture them once from a real request you made, and you can replay them on new requests to the same API.
The generated client is plain Python on top of
mimic.App, and you edit it like any other file. It gives you named methods, body templates, and the multi-step call chaining mobile APIs tend to need (fetch a token in one call, spend it in the next).Installs
uvif you don't have it, then mimic in an isolated tool env. mitmproxy isn't a separate install; mimic launches it viauvxon firstrecord. (Manual:uv tool install mimic-client.)
