1. A method of testing an application programming interface (API) calls, comprising:
- receiving, by a response simulator, data identifying a schema together with a test API call to access a web service, the schema including schema information defining specific API calls and corresponding API responses associated with the web service;
searching a data repository associated with the web service, to determine whether the test API call, as defined by the schema information, has a corresponding API response;
providing a simulated test API response associated with the web service based on the corresponding API response.

Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a method of testing an Application Programming Interface (API) call that includes receiving data identifying a schema associated with web services together with an API call. Various example embodiments may relate to accessing a data repository associated with the schema to identify an API response corresponding to the API call. In some example embodiments, a message is returned that is based on a determination of whether the API call is valid. The example message may simulate an API response from web services.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, performs a method of testing an application programming interface (API) call, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a response simulator, data identifying a schema together with an test API call to access a web service, the schema including schema information defining specific API calls and corresponding API responses associated with the web service; searching a data repository associated with die web service, to determine whether the test API call, as defined by the schema information, has a corresponding API response; and providing a simulated test API response associated with die web service based on the corresponding API response. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A response simulator to test an Application Programming Interface (API) call, the response simulator comprising:
-
a communication interface configured to receive from a user interface data identifying a schema together with an test API call to access a web service, the schema including schema information defining specific API calls and corresponding API responses associated with the web service; a validation module communicatively coupled to communications interface and configured to search a data repository associated with the web service to determine whether the test API call, as defined by the schema information, has a corresponding API response; and a response module, communicatively coupled to the validation module and to the communication interface, and configured to provide a simulated test API response associated with the web service based on the corresponding API response. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
