1. A system, comprising:

  • a non-transitory computer-readable memory device storing processor-executable instructions; and

    one or more processors configured to execute the processor-executable instructions, wherein execution of the processor-executable instructions, by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to;

    receive, by an application program interface (API) controller of a software defined network (SDN) node that is hosted in a cloud computing environment, a request for a network service to be provided to a customer of a wireless telecommunications network;

    determine, based on the request, API characteristics that correspond to the network service;

    determine APIs for implementing the network service by comparing the API characteristics to API records of a repository of API records;

    generate an API chain that indicates the APIs for implementing the network service; and

    provide the API chain to a SDN architecture, to which the SDN node corresponds, that is configured to implement the APIs to provide the network service to the customer.
