My mom is a teacher and she is going to be using an app to track her students’ behavior. Every several weeks she needs to be able to write a report about their behavior for the school system. The analytics that this app provides are next to nothing so I would like to help her out so that she doesn’t have to sit around and crunch numbers for these periodic reports.
This company doesn’t have a public API but I’ve been able to look at the network requests and figure it out the API they are using for their frontend JavaScript app. Is it unethical and/or frowned upon to reverse engineer a non-public API via the dev tools and use the data for myself? I sent the company an email, but I wanted to get the opinions of the smart people here before I hacked away!
Thanks!
