Promoting APIs based on usage

A method, comprising:

• assigning, by a system comprising at least one processor, respective first elements of a first application programming interface (API) to respective first objects in a graph representation, wherein the respective objects correspond to respective syntactic representations of the first API;
• determining, by the system, that a first user account has invoked a second API via an API call, wherein respective second elements of the second API are assigned to respective second objects in the graph representation;
• determining, by the system, that the first API has a capability not possessed by the second API according to a criterion, wherein the criterion is evaluated with respect to a speed associated with processing API calls, wherein the API calls comprise the API call,
• wherein the first user account is engaged in a session of invoking the API calls, wherein the speed associated with processing the API calls is based on respective speeds of processing respective API calls of the session, and
• wherein the speed is determined while processing the API calls on behalf of the first user account, and independently of processing API calls on behalf of a second user account, or wherein the speed is determined while processing a group of API calls for a group of user accounts that comprises the first user account;
• and
• sending, by the system to the first user account, an indication of the second API.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:

• assigning respective first elements of a first application programming interface (API) to respective first objects in a graph representation;
• determining that an invocation of a second API has occurred via an API call associated with a first user account, wherein respective second elements of the second API are assigned to respective second objects in the graph representation;
• determining that the first API is more capable than the second API according to a criterion, wherein the criterion comprises a speed criterion associated with a speed of processing API calls, wherein the API calls comprise the API call,
• wherein the first user account is engaged in a session of invoking the API calls, wherein the speed associated with processing the API calls corresponds to respective speeds of processing respective API calls of the session, and
• wherein the speed is determined based on processing the API calls on behalf of the first user account, and independently of any processing of API calls on behalf of a second user account, or wherein the speed is determined based on processing a group of API calls for a group of user accounts that comprises the first user account;
• and
• sending an indication of the second API to be accessed via the first user account.
