Abstract

This application provides a method and an apparatus for invoking an application programming interface (API), to determine a target exposing function network element used to invoke an API. The method includes: A first network element obtains routing information of an API, where the routing information is used to indicate a route for invoking the API, and the API is provided by a first exposing function network element and a second exposing function network element; the first network element obtains invocation parameter information of the API, where the invocation parameter information is used to handle the API; and the first network element determines a target exposing function network element in the first exposing function network element and the second exposing function network element based on the routing information and the invocation parameter information.
