api-pattern-recognition

API pattern recognition analyzes URL structure, headers, and response format to classify APIs as REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or gRPC. Provide the endpoint URL and sample response; the skill returns the detected type with a confidence score to guide your integration approach.

Yes. The skill identifies GraphQL services by recognizing /graphql endpoints, query key structures, and GraphQL response envelopes. This detection helps you quickly flag GraphQL APIs during API discovery and onboarding workflows.

REST detection looks for resource-based URL patterns and standard HTTP methods; SOAP detection flags XML envelopes and RPC-style messaging; gRPC detection identifies protocol buffer signatures. Each produces a distinct type classification so you choose the correct client library.

Submit the API URL, request headers, and a sample response payload to the skill. It automatically classifies the API type and returns indicators and confidence scores, eliminating manual endpoint analysis and accelerating integration decisions.

The skill detects common REST patterns, content types, and response shapes. Non-standard REST implementations may produce lower confidence scores; review the returned indicators and confidence value to validate detection accuracy for your endpoint.

API type determines which client, schema tools, and request-response handling logic to use. Accurate classification upfront ensures compatibility with your automation tooling and prevents mismatches during integration and runtime.
