Abstract
An embodiment of the invention comprising a method captures information for a data structure, the information pertaining to Web application programming interfaces APIs and Web application programming interface API users. The method includes identifying a first set of relationships, wherein an identified relationship can be at least a relationship between a Web API and a Web API user, between different Web API users, or between different Web APIs. The method further includes furnishing the first set of relationships to the data structure as first captured information, and using the first captured information to perform a specified analysis operation. Prior to or during performance of the specified analysis operation, second information is added to the data structure wherein the added second information includes at least one of a user, a Web API, or a relationship that is not included in the first captured information, and the added second information does not affect performance of the specified analysis operation.
