Techniques, described herein, may enable a software defined network (SDN) to determine application program interfaces (APIs) for providing network services. For instance, when a customer submits a request to access media content (e.g., images, music, videos, etc.), the SDN may determine the APIs to enable the network service to be provided to the user with little or no operator involvement. In some implementations, the APIs may be derived by the network dynamically. In some implementations, the APIs may be derived from API records that are stored by the SDN. Additionally, when new APIs are derived for a network service, the APIs may be recorded in case the same request for network services is later received (e.g., from another customer) in which case the record may be promptly used to determine the appropriate APIs for the requested network service.
