Abstract
Given the huge number of available Web APIs, a web designer might take advantage of the ”wisdom” or collective knowledge of the other developers who used the Web APIs for their own mashups. This knowledge may implicitly derive from the use of the Web APIs in similar mashups, or may be obtained through explicit social tagging and rating of Web APIs. In this paper, we propose to exploit this knowledge to implement advanced Web API search patterns, depending on the development scenario the web designer is acting in, namely the creation of a new mashup, the completion of an existing one or the substitution of one or more Web APIs within it.
