So I'm sick and tired with web apps. I want normal adequate desktop apps for all the things.

Same relates to 9GAG. Everyone says there's no official API for 9GAG, but of course there is - you just need to go deeper.

Here's what I did in 20 minutes:

  • Decompiling 9GAG app for Android and digging within its JS sources (that's right - JavaScript, not Java: 9GAG app seems to be written in React Native.) to find the logic for signing requests.
  • Dumping HTTP traffic with spoofed SSL certificates to see actual request & response bodies.

So far there seem to be multiple domains used including api.9gag.com, ad.9gag.com, notify.9gag.com, admin.9gag.com and comment-cdn.9gag.com. I was able to make my own requests and retrieve the data I want.

Any fellow coders willing to contribute to this? We would be the first ones to reverse-engineer an actual 9GAG API. How cool is that?
