Debugging API usage on mobile

When working with API's on mobile applications it can be hard to debug and find out what's going on. I highly recommend setting up a proxy server to parse traffic through so you can see what's going on.

For this I recommend using a node web server called http://robohydra.org/ built by Opera. I have setup some example proxy scripts at https://github.com/andyjamesdavies/robohydra-plugins which should help you get started with a proxy server.
