Systems and methods for automated application programming interface evaluation and migration
A computerized system for API migration. The system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, which include segregating client accounts three groups, assigning a first API for communications with the first group and a second API for communications with the second group, and assigning the first API for communications with a first portion of the third group and the second API for communications with a second portion of the third group. The operations may also include collecting communications from the groups and generating metrics associated with each group, and generating a comparative report and a compatibility report. The operations may also include transmitting at least one of an alert or a recommendation based on the comparative report and the compatibility report.

the first API and the second API comprise integration extensions connecting online shops with an e-commerce data center; and
collecting the communications comprise logging attributes of communications retrieved from a log pipeline while excluding client-side communications.
11. A computer-implemented method for API migration, the method comprising
segregating client accounts in a first group, a second group, and a third group, each group having distinct members;
assigning a first API for communications with the first group and a second API for communications with the second group;
assigning the first API for communications with a first portion of the third group and the second API for communications with a second portion of the third group;
collecting, during a time interval, communications from the first group, the second group, and the third group, and determining metrics associated with each group;
generating a comparative report comparing the metrics associated with the first group and the metrics associated with the second group;
generating a compatibility report based on the metrics associated with the third group; and
transmitting at least one of an alert or a recommendation based on the comparative report and the compatibility report.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first API is a legacy API and the second API is an updated API.
13. The method of claim 12 further comprising:
determining a comparative score based on the comparative report and a compatibility score based on the compatibility report; and
assigning the second API to the first group and the third group in response to determining the comparative score and the compatibility score are above a threshold.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first group and the second group comprise a larger number of client accounts than the third group.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein:
the comparative report specifies mismatches between API calls from the first group and the second group;
the compatibility report specifies source, binary, and semantic compatibility errors between the first API and the second API;
the alert or recommendation comprises the mismatches; and
generating the alert or recommendation comprises automatically broadcasting a message in an administrator network.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein collecting the communications comprises configuring a network analyzer to:
capture packets incoming from client devices associated with the client accounts in the first group, the second, and the third group; and
storing the captured packages from each group in independent memory spaces.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein
