US Patent 11556403 System and method for an application programming interface (API) service modification

A system for implementing an application programming interface (API) service modification generates API sample requests based on content and metadata associated with historical API requests. The content associated with a historical API request may comprise data that is requested in the historical API request. The metadata may comprise a data format associated with the content. The system sends the API sample requests to an API hosting server and receives API responses. The system compares an API response with an expected API response, where the API response and the expected API response are associated with a particular task. The system determines whether the API response corresponds with the expected API response. If it is determined that the API response does not correspond with the expected API response, the system identifies a modification made to the API response and modifies future API requests associated with the particular task according to the modification.
