RESTalk

RESTalk is a domain-specific language for describing RESTful conversation models and patterns. It allows to extend structural descriptions of APIs (e.g., OpenAPI) with information about the expected behavior of clients interacting with the API to achieve their goals. It is supported by the RESTalk Miner, a tool for analyzing RESTful API logs and checking if clients use APIs as expected.

RESTful Conversation Survey

Help us evaluate a new visual notation for representing RESTful conversations, all possible correct sequences of interactions with a RESTful API, by answering this survey.

Your feedback to our research is greatly appreciated.
