Web services provide a uniform framework to achieve a high level of interaction between distributed heterogeneous software systems and data resources shared over the Internet.Producing a well-designed web service is significant because it leads to a more understandable service and a higher level of interaction and leads to effective software maintainability.However, web service is suffering from a poor design problem named anti-patterns.Analysis of the literature returned a plethora of studies on anti-patterns that caused difficulties for developers to synthesize and summarized the possible types of anti-patterns and further comprehend each of them.Due to this limitation, this paper aims to provide organized literature on the types of anti-patterns found in web services.A scoping review was conducted by searching scholarly documents, analyzing, and classified them based on their anti-pattern types.The review provided in this paper could be used as a guide for developers to identify the antipatterns that could be found in web services.
