When your entire business model is built on out-executing competitors, you can’t afford weak links in your operations — especially in data acquisition. For our client, knowing what their rivals were doing was a requirement for survival.
Naturally, that left very little room for error.
They needed clean, structured, high-frequency data from a mobile app designed to keep outsiders out. What they didn’t need was to get bogged down in proxy configurations, token refresh loops, or chasing every UI tweak that broke a scraper.
As always, this is where we came in. Grepsr took full ownership of the web data pipeline — including all the messy, brittle, behind-the-scenes work. Using Android and iOS emulators, we intercepted the mobile app’s traffic through MITM proxies, paired with custom root certificates to decrypt HTTPS data.
We reverse-engineered the app’s request architecture, uncovered hidden API endpoints, and handled short-lived session tokens that required real-time refresh logic to stay authenticated.
The app’s SSL pinning, behavioral fingerprinting, and geolocation-based restrictions added another layer of complexity — all of which we neutralized with adaptive techniques that mirrored verified user behavior.
Most importantly, perhaps one factor above everything else continues to push this project through the finish line — communication.
We worked in tight sync with the client via a dedicated Slack channel, rapidly responding to changes in app’s structure and keeping their internal teams focused on insights while we handled the infrastructure.
Whether it meant hopping on a call at 4 a.m. or patching a scraper late at night, our engineering team made sure the data kept flowing.
Operational efficiency was their end game. We understood that — completely.
Even as the app changed multiple times a month, we maintained 95%+ data accuracy and held system drift under 5%, ensuring uninterrupted business performance.
In short, we did the legwork, so they could stay focused on what they do best: beating their competitors at their own game.
When execution is everything, your partner shouldn’t be a variable.
With Grepsr, it isn’t.
