That's interesting.

I was confused by the title, as, if I understand correctly, this is not a tool to monitor rest APIs, but a tool to track external HTTP requests sent from a website?

Interesting. I'll try to explain a bit more, maybe you can tell me if I should rephrase it.

When you visit a website, the website loads a script that intercepts the requests made from the website (like you said). It only intercepts HTTP requests, so most of these requests should be targeting APIs.

With these information, I create dashboards and charts.
