API-based service command invocation is provided through a method that includes identifying one or more executable commands of a service. The one or more executable commands correspond to one or more service operations supported by the service. The method generates one or more application programming interfaces (APIs), each API of the one or more APIs to invoke a respective executable command of the one or more executable commands. The method exposes at least one API of the generated one or more APIs to an end-user of the service.
