Abstract

Systems and methods for an application programming interface (API) engine are disclosed. Some implementations include receiving, via a user interface, a selection of a first graphical element representing a first component of an API that is to be generated, where the first component is associated with a first set of one or more reusable programming actions, receiving, via the user interface, instructions to drag the selected first graphical element and another selected second graphical element to a graphical workspace associated with the user interface to connect the first and the second graphical element, combining the first set of reusable programming actions with a second set of reusable programming actions when the selected second graphical element is connected with the first graphical component on the graphical workspace and automatically displaying software code representing the API based on the combination.
