What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps automatically identify the type of an API (REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or gRPC) based on URL patterns, headers, and sample responses, reducing manual inspection and onboarding time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • REST detection: Detects RESTful endpoints via common patterns, content types, and response shapes.
  • GraphQL detection: Identifies GraphQL services from /graphql endpoints, presence of query keys, and data/error shapes.
  • SOAP/gRPC detection: Flags SOAP/RPC-like patterns and identifies SOAP envelopes or gRPC indicators.
  • Use Case: When integrating a new API, quickly determine its type to choose the correct client and tooling, and verify compatibility for automation tasks.

Quick Start

Run the api-pattern-recognition skill against your API by providing the URL, headers, and an optional response payload to obtain a structured type and confidence score.
