Moreover, many companies build WebAPIs as<br \/>\ntheir primary product (Email API, SMS API, etc.). This has resulted in an<br \/>\nexplosion of the number of WebAPIs in recent years. Developers spend a<br \/>\nsignificant amount of time searching for suitable WebAPIs to meet their<br \/>\nneeds.<\/p>\n<p>Our intention is to work closely with Schema.org to define a<br \/>\nWebAPI-specific extension and promote usage of this extension among API<br \/>\nowners. In the long run, our aim is to contribute this extension into the<br \/>\ncore Schema.org vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve these goals we are seeking feedback and collaboration from API<br \/>\nowners, DX specialists, API description language experts and maintainers of<br \/>\nvarious API catalogs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You are invited to <a href=\"\/community\/groups\/proposed#web-api-discovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">support the creation of this group<\/a>.
