I wrote a tool for work that does the same thing based on request logs. It would parse each line into a structure then merge the same call point structures down to one spec. It was helpful to see the api but in the end was not that helpful in back filling the openapi spec.

things to consider: - junk data from users will show up. unless your downstream service rejects extra params users will mess with you. - it documents each endpoint but its harder to say if this "user" data is the same as another's endpoints "user" - it is hard to tell if users are hitting all endpoint inputs/outputs without manual review.
