Api specification generation

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media containing instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining an application programming interface (API) document that includes plain text language that describes an API resource;
• extracting information from the API document, the information including at least one function and at least one table that includes an attribute associated with the API resource;
• extracting a description, that includes a subset of the plain text language, for each of the at least one functions from the API document;
• comparing the extracted at least one table to a model of attributes to correlate extracted attributes with extracted functions;
• and
• compiling a machine-readable API specification for the API resource described in the API document based in part on the subset of plain text language.
