Systems, methods, and devices for automatic application programming interface model generation based on network traffic
Systems, methods, and devices facilitate generation of application programming interfaces. Systems include a computing platform implemented using a server system, the computing platform being configurable to cause monitoring application programming interface (API) traffic associated with a client service, storing a representation of the API traffic in a database system, the representation including at least an API call identifier and metadata, and generating one or more API models based, at least in part, on the representation of the API traffic, the one or more API models being configured to represent a plurality of API interactions associated with the client service. The computing platform is further configurable to cause generating one or more API objects based, at least in part, on the API models, the one or more API objects being one or more components of a client service API.
