Automatic API discovery system for multiple frameworks and VCS platforms

Project description

Code Discovery - Automatic API Discovery System

GitHub release License: MIT Python 3.9+

Overview

Code Discovery is an automated system that discovers API endpoints in code repositories and generates OpenAPI specifications. It supports multiple version control systems and frameworks, running entirely within your VCS runners for maximum security.

โšก Quick Start

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/code-discovery.git
cd code-discovery

# 2. Install
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

# 3. Run on your project
code-discovery --repo-path /path/to/your/api/project

โœ… That's it! Your OpenAPI spec is generated at openapi-spec.yaml

๐Ÿ“– Detailed Instructions: See INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS.md

Features

  • Multi-VCS Support: GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI, Harness
  • Multi-Framework Support:
    • Java: Spring Boot, Micronaut
    • Python: FastAPI, Flask
    • .NET: ASP.NET Core
  • Automatic OpenAPI Generation: Discovers endpoints, inputs, outputs, and authentication requirements

Installation

Method 1: Install from GitHub (Recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/code-discovery.git
cd code-discovery

# Install dependencies and package
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

# Verify installation
code-discovery --version

๐Ÿ“– Full installation guide: INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS.md

Method 2: CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions - Add to .github/workflows/api-discovery.yml:

- name: Install Code Discovery
  run: |
    git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/code-discovery.git /tmp/code-discovery
    cd /tmp/code-discovery
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    pip install -e .

- name: Run Discovery
  run: code-discovery --repo-path .

GitLab CI - Add to .gitlab-ci.yml:

before_script:
  - git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/code-discovery.git /tmp/code-discovery
  - cd /tmp/code-discovery && pip install -r requirements.txt && pip install -e .
  - cd $CI_PROJECT_DIR

script:
  - code-discovery --repo-path .

See example configurations in .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, Jenkinsfile, etc.

Configuration

Create a .codediscovery.yml file in your repository root:

# API Discovery Configuration
api_discovery:
  enabled: true
  
  # Frameworks to scan (leave empty to auto-detect all)
  frameworks:
    - spring-boot
    - micronaut
    - fastapi
    - flask
    - aspnet-core
  
  # OpenAPI specification settings
  openapi:
    version: "3.0.0"
    output_path: "openapi-spec.yaml"
    include_examples: true
  
  # External API endpoint (optional)
  external_api:
    enabled: true
    endpoint: "https://api.example.com/openapi/upload"
    auth_token_env: "API_DISCOVERY_TOKEN"

Usage

Automatic (Recommended)

Once installed as a VCS app, the system automatically:

  1. Triggers on push/PR events
  2. Scans the repository for API frameworks
  3. Extracts API endpoint information
  4. Generates OpenAPI specification
  5. Commits the spec back to the repository
  6. Notifies your external API endpoint

Manual Execution

# Run discovery on current directory
python -m src.main

# Specify repository path
python -m src.main --repo-path /path/to/repo

# Dry run (don't commit back)
python -m src.main --dry-run

Extending the System

Adding a New Framework

  1. Create a detector in src/detectors/your_framework.py:
from src.detectors.base import BaseDetector

class YourFrameworkDetector(BaseDetector):
    def detect(self) -> bool:
        # Detection logic
        pass
  1. Create a parser in src/parsers/your_framework_parser.py:
from src.parsers.base import BaseParser

class YourFrameworkParser(BaseParser):
    def parse(self) -> List[APIEndpoint]:
        # Parsing logic
        pass

Adding a New VCS Platform

Implement the BaseVCSAdapter interface in src/vcs/your_platform.py:

from src.vcs.base import BaseVCSAdapter

class YourPlatformAdapter(BaseVCSAdapter):
    def get_repository_path(self) -> str:
        pass
    
    def commit_file(self, file_path: str, message: str):
        pass

Security Considerations

  • Code never leaves your VCS environment
  • Runs on your own runners/agents
  • Supports secret management via environment variables
  • OpenAPI specs are committed to your repository under your control
