Alibaba Cloud Product + API Discovery

Follow this workflow to collect products, resolve API metadata, and build summaries for skill planning.

Workflow

1. Fetch product lists from the three sources

• Ticket System (ListProducts)
• Support & Service (ListProductByGroup)
• BSS OpenAPI (QueryProductList)

Run the bundled scripts (from this skill folder):

python scripts/products_from_ticket_system.py
python scripts/products_from_support_service.py
python scripts/products_from_bssopenapi.py

Provide required env vars in each script (see references).

2. Merge product lists

python scripts/merge_product_sources.py

This writes output/product-scan/merged_products.json and .md.

3. Fetch OpenAPI metadata product list

python scripts/products_from_openapi_meta.py

This writes output/product-scan/openapi-meta/products.json and products_normalized.json.

4. Fetch OpenAPI API docs per product/version

python scripts/apis_from_openapi_meta.py

By default this can be large. Use filters for dry runs:

• OPENAPI_META_MAX_PRODUCTS=10
• OPENAPI_META_PRODUCTS=Ecs,Ons
• OPENAPI_META_VERSIONS=2014-05-26

5. Join products with API counts

python scripts/join_products_with_api_meta.py

6. Summarize products by category/group

python scripts/summarize_openapi_meta_products.py

6. (Optional) Compare products vs existing skills

python scripts/analyze_products_vs_skills.py

Output discipline

All generated files must go under output/. Do not place temporary files elsewhere.
