Title: Scraping Tinder User Data Using Wireshark and Emulator Techniques Scraping Tinder is non-trivial due to strong client-side protection, use of certificate pinning, encrypted APIs, and dynamic token-based authentication. However, with a rooted Android emulator, network proxying, and some reverse engineering of the app’s traffic, it’s possible to capture API calls and extract structured user data. Step 1: Setup Environment for Traffic Interception Emulator : Use rooted Android emulator (e.g., Genymotion rooted image or AVD with Magisk). Proxy tool : Set up Wireshark and mitmproxy on your host machine. Configure emulator Wi-Fi settings to route through proxy.
