I am coding an SEO tool in C# for doing keyword research. I need to make calls to Google Adword keyword tool. Now I know some tools which are doing the same already.
I just need to decipher what they are doing. I tried using Wireshark but it's very complex to get the actual POST data using Wireshark.
I tried using fiddler on IE but seems like too many Javascript requests are made which confuses fiddler a lot.
If I can just find out the exact requests the other tool is making I think my job is done. How can I do this?
Observe the traffic captured in the top Wireshark packet list pane. To view only HTTP traffic, type http (lower case) in the Filter box and press Enter. Select the first HTTP packet labeled GET /. Observe the destination IP address.
Wireshark captures all traffic on a network interface. The thing with HTTPS is that it is application layer encryption. Wireshark is not able to decrypt the content of HTTPS. This is because HTTPS encrypts point to point between applications.
Put http.request.method == "POST"
in the display filter of wireshark to only show POST requests. Click on the packet, then expand the Hypertext Transfer Protocol field. The POST data will be right there on top.
