Methods and systems that facilitate automatic generation of Application Programming Interface (API) specification from web traffic. Methods include obtaining a plurality of API requests and responses to the plurality of API requests. Methods include processing these API requests and responses to API requests to identify one or more attributes, such as, for example, variables, query parameters, response status codes, and response schemas. Methods include identifying variables using a tree data structure to represent resource paths. Methods include identifying query parameters based on resource items in resource paths. Methods include determining that the API call does not conform to the API specification by comparing one or more attributes of the API call with the attributes of the API specification.

API specification generation

Distributed API accounting is disclosed, including: receiving from respective ones of a plurality of agents, a plurality of local counter values corresponding to an application programming interface (API) service counter identifier; logging the plurality of local counter values corresponding to the API service counter identifier; receiving a request for an aggregated counter value associated with the API service counter identifier; combining at least some of the logged plurality of local counter values associated with the API service counter identifier to determine the aggregated counter value corresponding to the API service counter identifier; and storing the aggregated counter value corresponding to the API service counter identifier.
