Patent attributes
This disclosure relates generally to application programming interfaces, and more particularly to system and method for indexing APIs. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented application programming interface economy indexing method is disclosed. The method may include identifying, via one or more hardware processors, an application programming interface associated with at least one device in Internet of Things operatively connected to a communication network. The method may also include receiving a request to access the application programming interface. The method may further include determining a monetary category for the application programming interface, based on the request. Also, the method may include calculating an economy index for the application programming interface. The method may include determining, using the monetary category, one or more financial conditions of access to the application programming interface.
