Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically cataloging updated Application Programming Interface (API) specifications. The API specifications may have been previously published to an application exchange platform. An automatic cataloging tool installed at an API development system may identify an updated API specification committed to an API specification repository. To validate that a change has been made, the automatic cataloging tool may compare the updated specification, metadata, and/or referenced documentation files to an API specification previously posted to the application exchange platform. In response to determining that the API specifications differ, the automatic cataloging tool may transmit the updated API specification to the application exchange platform. The application exchange platform may then replace the previous API specification with the updated API specification for client devices to view.
