Feature-based application programming interface cognitive comparative benchmarking

A computer system for attribute-based application programming interface (API) comparative benchmarking, the computer system comprising:

• a bus system;
• a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device stores program instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the bus system, wherein the processor executes the program instructions to:
• determine a weighted average of benchmark confidence scores of other APIs in a same class as a target API in response to determining that the target API maps to an existing API classification based on attributes of the target API;
• determine a benchmark confidence score for the target API based on feedback, reviews, and ratings;
• compare the benchmark confidence score of the target API with the weighted average of benchmark scores;
• update an attribute-based API classification mapping based on comparing;
• and
• determine pricing for the target API based on a weighted average of API pricing across the other APIs in the same class as the target API.

A computer program product for attribute-based application programming interface (API) comparative benchmarking, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• responsive to the computer determining that a target API maps to an existing API classification based on attributes of the target API, determining, by the computer, a weighted average of benchmark confidence scores of other APIs in a same class as the target API;
• determining, by the computer, a benchmark confidence score for the target API based on feedback, reviews, and ratings;
• comparing, by the computer, the benchmark confidence score of the target API with the weighted average of benchmark scores;
• updating, by the computer, an attribute-based API classification mapping based on the comparing;
• and
• determining, by the computer, pricing for the target API based on a weighted average of API pricing across the other APIs in the same class as the target API.
