SCCGBench: Executability-Oriented Evaluation for Real-World Web Service-Call Code Generation

Abstract

LLM-generated service-call code is increasingly important for service computing, where developers rely on large language models (LLMs) to compose services and invoke third-party services. However, current approaches have not yet evaluated the invocation and execution of services in the actual code environment. To support execution-grounded evaluation, we present the Service-Call Code Generation Benchmark (SCCGBench), a benchmark of 3,135 traceable and decontamination-filtered RapidAPI call functions from real GitHub repositories. SCCGBench uses redacted-intent generation to reduce circular leakage and introduces Mock, Robust, ParamF1, and host-, endpoint-, method-, and parameter-level diagnostics. Mock denotes a virtual-execution hit that simultaneously matches the gold host, endpoint, and HTTP method, while Robust further requires status checking and exception handling. We evaluate six code LLMs and one non-neural retrieval baseline under intent-only, retrieval-augmented, and gold-documentation Oracle settings. Results show that models often generate syntactically correct or superficially similar HTTP-request code but achieve low Mock success in the intent-only setting; the strongest evaluated model obtains only 3.76% Mock. Under the gold-documentation Oracle settings (C3 and C5), Mock reaches 88.73%--90.52% for the open-source models evaluated in RQ2 and 76.47%--81.86% for DeepSeek-V4-Pro, whereas sparse and dense retrieval remain far below this oracle level. The findings indicate that service/API grounding is the main bottleneck: Mock is dominated by host, endpoint, and method alignment, while ParamF1 separately reveals parameter-alignment errors. SCCGBench provides an execution-grounded benchmark for Web service invocation, API recommendation, service-interface retrieval, endpoint grounding, and reliable service-call automation.
