Abstract

Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communications technologies, and disclose an application programming interface (API) topology hiding method, a device, and a system. A common API framework core function (CCF) receives, from a topology hiding request entity, a request message that includes information about an API and that is used to request to hide an API exposing function (AEF) that provides the API. Based on the request message, a topology hiding entry point used by an API invoker to invoke the API is determined. An identifier of the API and an identifier of the AEF that provides the API are sent to the topology hiding entry point so that the topology hiding entry point hides the AEF that provides the API.
