No, the broader concept of how to dissect the behaviour to figure out the api endpoints called, what was sent to them, what was returned, etc.

MITM proxy, ZAP, fiddler, and Burp suite are some tools to start with, and wireshark/postman just in case you needed it. Rest is just your knowledge in JavaScript mostly.

I don't think these tools are particularly suitable for reverse engineering websites, it's much easier to use devtools and userscripts
