Thanks for your interest!

- Is this closed source?

Currently, the code is not open source, but I might open-source parts of it in the future.

- Does it cost money?

The software is free to use. If there is demand, I might create a "pro" version for businesses in the future. However, I intend to always have a free version available for individuals.

- How does it discover data relationships?

I've discussed how it discovers data relationships in the documentation here: https://docs.apiparrot.com/docs/tutorial-extras/exchange-mod....

In short, the tool breaks down the data in the requests and responses into smaller parts by identifying their formats. For example, `["foo", "bar"]` would be recognized as a JSON array and broken down into the elements `"foo"` and `"bar"`. By applying this method recursively, you build a tree-like structure of the data.

If an exact match is found between data in a response from a previous request and data in a subsequent request, a correlation is detected.

Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
