API registry in a container platform for automatically generating client code libraries

A method of providing Application Programming Interface (API) functions for registered service endpoints in container environments may include receiving, at an API registry, an API definition that may include an endpoint of a first service that is encapsulated in a container that is deployed in a container environment and one or more API functions. The method may also include creating, by the API registry, a binding between the one or more API functions and the endpoint of the service; receiving, by the API registry, a request from a second service to use the first service; and providing, by the API registry, the one or more API functions to the second service.
