摘要

An application programming interface (API) consumption development environment (CDE) is integrated with an API administration component and a determination is made whether an existing API conforms to application development requirements. A desired API is defined including test data, and the desired API and test data is forwarded to an API developer as a development request. The API CDE is integrated with the API administration component. A developed API is deployed to an API provider creating an integration testing deployment, and the API administration component is notified of the integration testing deployment. The developed API is deployed to an API provider productive for productive use.

1. A computer-implemented method for application programming interface (API) lifecycle awareness of an API management system, comprising:
integrating an API consumption development environment (CDE) with an API administration component; determining whether an existing API conforms to application development requirements; defining a desired API and including test data; forwarding the desired API and test data to an API developer as a development request, the development request based on the desired API and the test data and including a request to mock the desired API as a service for an implemented version of the desired API at an actual service endpoint at which the implemented desired API will be reached; integrating the API CDE with the API administration component; and deploying a developed API to an API provider creating an integration testing deployment.
