## Obtaining API Information

For troubleshooting issues, or investigating potential new devices, information can be intercepted from the API via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) http proxy interception method. Charles, mitmproxy, and Fiddler are examples of software that can be used to perform this mitm 'attack'/observation.

This can be done using a physical or virtual device that can run the LG ThinQ app. While it is theoretically possible with iOS, it is much easier to do this using Android.

Windows 11 enables the ability to run Android apps on most modern machines, making this process more accessible by eliminating the need for a physical device or separate emulation/virtualization software.

For information on how to do this with Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) on Windows 11 using mitmproxy, please see the repo [zimmra/frida-rootbypass-and-sslunpinning-lg-thinq](https://github.com/zimmra/frida-rootbypass-and-sslunpinning-lg-thinq) (Method tested August '23, LG ThinQ Version 4.1.46041)
