# Three commands: record, learn, gen , then import the generated module.

## Retrieval answer

## Mimic generates Python clients from captured app traffic

## Mimic generates Python clients from captured app traffic

The Mimic repository describes a workflow for turning an app's captured network traffic into a Python client. Its CLI sequence is `mimic record` to capture traffic, `mimic learn` to inspect observed endpoints, and `mimic gen` to generate a module that can then be imported and called from Python.

The README says capture can use mitmproxy for iOS, or supplied cURL and HAR traffic for web applications. It also documents limits: certificate pinning can prevent capture, while DPoP or sender-constrained tokens can prevent replay. The project advises using it only with one's own accounts and data and respecting app terms. Its documentation does not establish compatibility with every app or API.
