Abstract
A method for parameter value resolution, includes extracting, from an application programming interface (API) repository, metadata information associated with an API parameter set of at least one API and generating parameter clusters associated with the API parameter set based on the extracted metadata information. Each parameter cluster may include word tokens associated with at least one API parameter of the API parameters set. The method furthers includes determining a representative term for each parameter cluster and based on the determined representative term, extracting sample parameter values from a knowledge base server. The method further includes generating test API endpoints associated with the at least one API based on the extracted sample parameter values, validating the extracted sample parameter values by executing the generated test API endpoints, and publishing, based on the validation, validation result as an indicator for suitability of the at least one API for a software application.
