Access internal web app APIs using Puppeteer to capture headers, then replicate in Python

Access Internal APIs with Puppeteer + Python

Many internal web apps expose APIs that aren't publicly documented. This technique uses Puppeteer to intercept the browser's XHR requests, capture the exact headers being sent, then replicate them in Python to access the API directly — bypassing the UI entirely.

Steps

1. Intercept headers with Puppeteer

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

Auto-Switching NextDNS Profiles per macOS User (Supports Fast User Switching)

🛡️ Auto-Switching NextDNS Profiles per macOS User (Updated)

This setup ensures that each macOS user gets their assigned NextDNS config — even with fast user switching and standard (non-admin) accounts — without requiring manual scripts, prompts, or login hooks.

🎯 Goal

Automatically install the correct NextDNS profile within 30 seconds of user login or fast user switch, but only if the current profile is incorrect.
