Capture App JSON Requests Android via Fiddler

Recently I tried to figure out where the application Meet Mobile's data was being pulled from. This is mostly out of curiosity as I noticed they have this free app for Android/iOS but nothing available from a computer which struck me as odd.

I set up fiddler on my computer with my phone using my computer as a proxy to access the internet, but when I do this Meet Mobile is not able to fetch data, even though I can use the browser to navigate the web without issue. I followed this guide to set up my proxy: http://www.cantoni.org/2013/11/06/capture-android-web-traffic-fiddler

I have discovered that the main site the data is being pulled from is https://awmobile.active.com/, and I believe it is being pulled via port 443. However, I cannot figure out the correct syntax to query from this site (which I believe the application uses JSON).

Please let me know if there is a better way to go about capturing the web requests my application is sending off to its home base. This is mostly an exercise of curiosity, and I'm excited to see what potential answers there are.

Cheers!

I figured it out - I needed to install the Fiddler certificate on my Android phone for it to allow the connections. I followed the steps listed here: http://www.cantoni.org/2013/11/06/capture-android-web-traffic-fiddler

Thank you for your help and time!
