Method and apparatus for providing api service and making api mash-up, and computer readable recording medium thereof

A method of generating an Application Program Interface (API) mash-up, the method comprising:

• obtaining at least two API packages which respectively comprise an API, meta-data for executing the API, resource data for generating a mash-up of the API, and description data corresponding to the API, the meta-data, and the resource data;
• extracting the API, the meta-data, and the resource data from each of the at least two API packages by using the description data;
• and
• generating a mash-up of the at least two API packages by using the API, the meta-data, and the resource data.

An apparatus for providing an API service, the apparatus comprising:

• a meta-data generating unit which generates meta-data for executing an API;
• a resource data generating unit which generates resource data for generating a mash-up of the API;
• a description data generating unit which generates description data corresponding to the API, the meta-data, and the resource data;
• and
• an API package generating unit which generates an API package comprising the API, the meta-data, the resource data, and the description data.

An apparatus for producing an API mash-up, the apparatus comprising:

• an API package obtaining unit which obtains at least two API packages which respectively comprise an API, meta-data for executing the API, resource data for generating a mash-up of the API, and description data corresponding to the API, the meta-data, and the resource data;
• a data extracting unit which extracts the API, the meta-data, and the resource data from each of the API packages by using the description data;
• and
• a mash-up generating unit which generates a mash-up of the API packages by using the API, the meta-data, and the resource data.

A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing a method of providing an API service, the method comprising:

• generating meta-data for executing an API;
• generating resource data for generating a mash-up of the API;
• generating description data corresponding to the API, the meta-data, and the resource data;
• and
• generating an API package comprising the API, the meta-data, the resource data, and the description data.
