Chucker
Chucker is an on-device HTTP inspector for Android applications that captures and records network traffic for the OkHttp library. It functions as a network interceptor and proxy-like utility, allowing for the analysis of API calls directly within the mobile application environment.
The tool provides a local interface for analyzing API interactions, which includes the ability to decode binary response bodies into human-readable text. It also includes security features to mask sensitive information in request and response headers through redaction rules.
Captured transactions are managed via a local database with configurable time-based data retention to automatically purge old records. The system integrates directly into the request and response pipeline to monitor data exchange and headers.
