Abstract
A debugging tool and method for statically verifying programs that invoke web-based services through API calls is provided. The tool receives source code that comprises one or more invocation of web APIs for requesting web-based services. The tool also receives a set of web API specifications. The tool extracts a set of request information for each web API invocation in the source code, the set of request information including a usage string of an URL endpoint. The tool verifies whether the set of request information complies with the received web API specifications and reports a result of the verification.
