Use Fiddler with Amazon Echo

[Lenczner]

I'm trying to learn about the API that my Amazon Echo device uses when I ask Alexa for information.

So I'd like to be able to run my Echo traffic through Fiddler (classic or everywhere).

But everything I've read requires using a browser or configuring a proxy on the remote device or some other step that I can't do on my Amazon Echo.

So is there some way to configure Fiddler to work in the scenario where I can only do stuff (e.g., VLANs, port mirroring) on an AP/PC-as-hotspot/gateway/router?

Hello Lenczner,

 

Fiddler Everywhere is a forward HTTP(S) proxy that primarily operates at the application level of the OSI model. Therefore, the short answer is no; you cannot use Fiddler for lower-level TCP operations, such as port mirroring. Unfortunately, it appears that Amazon has not yet provided a public API to manually configure proxy settings for their devices.
