Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 8)

APIaxess is a zero-setup, local-first tool that automatically recovers the API surface of web apps and Android APKs by combining MITM proxy capture, static analysis, and dynamic instrumentation. It bundles all dependencies (Chromium, emulator, decompilers) and provides a workbench for resending, fuzzing, and exporting to OpenAPI/Postman/HAR/Python SDK. It fills a gap for security researchers and developers who want a streamlined alternative to Burp Suite/Caido without manual setup.

Target audience: security researchers, backend developers, API testers, mobile developers
