Unlocking Beeline Portal’s Hidden Insights: How Network Traffic Analysis Reveals What APIs Can’t
This blog is intended for educational purposes only and is not meant to teach anyone how to hack or reverse engineer the platform.
We’re still getting acquainted with the Beeline API and aren’t yet sure what data it can (or can’t) provide. For now, our hands-on experience is limited to navigating the platform’s user interface. Without a dedicated system owner to guide us, we’re left to figure out the API and platform mechanics on our own.
Here’s the plan: instead of waiting for answers, we’ll roll up our sleeves and intercept the network traffic between the browser and the Beeline portal. By analyzing raw data exchanges, we can uncover gaps in API accessibility and document what’s missing.
This hands-on approach not only helps us build a workaround for now but also gives us concrete evidence to collaborate with Beeline’s product team — advocating for API updates that bring portal-only data into the open access.
We’ve noticed that the Beeline portal uses a multi-step authentication process that goes beyond standard cookie-based methods — think additional security checks during login. While digging into the…
