API Discovery: Turning Hidden APIs into Strategic Assets
summary
A working pipeline reconstructs OpenAPI specs from runtime traces: a Kubernetes cluster with Istio + OpenTelemetry sends traces to a collector where an algorithm filters noise, groups paths, normalizes IDs and redacts data to perform OpenTelemetry→OpenAPI reconstruction. Demo on the Robot Shop produces downloadable OpenAPI files that improve with traffic, which developers then refine, run through governance and publish. Feature is available in IBM API Connect and webMethods hybrid integration.
