Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically discovering an API for publishing within a data repository. A discovery tool is used either on a server computer or a customer computer to examine the files stored in the data repository. A search of the repository is conducted to identify root API files that form the basis of an API. A first examination is conducted in which the files are examined for common indicia associated with known API standards. Then a second examination is done of the root API candidates found in the first examination to identify which of the root API candidates is actually a root API. Once the root API has been located, it is executed in a computer environment, and its dependents are detected. Once all the necessary API files have been located, they are packaged and automatically published.
