SpeCrawler: Generating OpenAPI Specifications from API Documentation Using Large Language Models

arXiv:2402.11625v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the digital era, the widespread use of APIs is evident. However, scalable utilization of APIs poses a challenge due to structure divergence observed in online API documentation. This underscores the need for automatic tools to facilitate API consumption. A viable approach involves the conversion of documentation into an API Specification format. While previous attempts have been made using rule-based methods, these approaches encountered difficulties in generalizing across diverse documentation. In this paper we introduce …
