Monitor API calls

Playground Custom Channels
#1

In a previous post tmm1 suggested that "you could replicate the API call that happens when you click on that button "
My question is how do you monitor the API call from channels. I've tried using the inspect function in Chrome but just not seeing it. Any suggestions on a better way?

Wireshark or tcpdump.

Thanks I'll try Wireshark tonight. I've never used tcpdump. Dose it have any other benefits over Wireshark? Thanks again for the quick response.

#4

I like to think of Wireshark as the over-engineered graphical interface to tcpdump, which includes additional extras you'll probably never need.

Then again, for a simple task, I feel a simple tool is best.

Use what you're comfortable with. There are many other tools out there, too.

#5

Thanks I learn so much from this forum and appreciate it all.

#6

Wire shark is overkill here. You can use the developer tools in Chrome or Firefox and look at the Network tab.

Thanks now that I know I'm on the right track and it's there to find.
