Your inputs
Run the API Style Selector
Use one interface, integration, or review period. Every numeric input changes the result, while the written context shapes its interpretation and next step.

How it works
Enter comparable evidence
Replace the examples with current counts, coverage, effort, timing, or risk evidence relevant to this method: Compares REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, event, file, and message-based interfaces for a use case.
Review the transparent signal
The result shows the arithmetic and entered assumptions, then identifies a practical evidence or control gap to address next.
Frequently asked questions
What does API Style Selector calculate?
It turns the entered integration or API evidence into a bounded estimate or planning signal for this purpose: Compares REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, event, file, and message-based interfaces for a use case.
What scope should I use?
Use one API, integration, environment, consumer group, or review period. Keep every count and percentage aligned to that same boundary.
Is the result a security, compliance, or architecture approval?
No. It is a transparent planning signal based on your inputs, not a certification, guarantee, penetration test, legal opinion, or substitute for expert review.
When should I rerun the API Style Selector?
Recalculate when schemas, consumers, traffic, permissions, dependencies, ownership, deadlines, evidence, or operating constraints change materially.
