Abstract
For data integration using APIs, a request for data is analyzed to determine a set of functional characteristics and a set of non-functional characteristics expected in the data. A first API entry is selected in a registry of API entries, the first API entry corresponding to a first API of the first data source. The first API entry includes a first metadata corresponding to a first functional characteristic in the set of functional characteristics. The first API is invoked to obtain a first portion of the data, the first portion having the first functional characteristic. Using a second API entry in the registry, a second API is invoked to obtain a second portion of the data. The first portion and the second portion are returned in a response to the request.
