Method and apparatus for providing cloud-based API service

1 . A method for providing a cloud-based application programming interface (API) service, the method comprising:

issuing an authentication key corresponding to an application for some of a plurality of API services;

performing authentication for a first user using the issued authentication key in response to a call for a first API service by the first user; and

executing the first API service based on a result of the authentication,

wherein the issuing, performing, and executing are performed within an integrated control plane of a cloud service provider, and

wherein the plurality of API services are artificial intelligence (AI)-based data analysis services executed on graphics processing unit (GPU)-based worker nodes managed by an API service module of the integrated control plane.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing of the first API service includes:

acquiring analysis target data from a linked storage; and

generating an analysis result for the analysis target data by executing the first API service.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of API services include an artificial intelligence (AI)-based character recognition service, an AI-based text analysis service, and an AI-based image analysis service.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing of the first API service includes:

checking a permission of the first user for the first API service; and

executing the first API service only when the first user has the permission.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing of the first API service includes:

generating a job for the first API service and inserting the job into a queue;

fetching the job from the queue and verifying validity of the job; and

processing the job when the job is valid.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the validity of the job is verified based on at least one of an extension name of the analysis target data file and a capacity of the analysis target data file.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first API service is an asynchronous type API service, and

the executing of the first API service includes:

generating a job for the first API service and processing the generated job; and

providing an ID of the job to the first user before processing the job.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the generating of the job for the first API service and the processing of the generated job includes:

generating a job for the first API service and inserting the job into a queue;

fetching the job from the queue and verifying validity of the job; and

processing the job when the job is valid.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the processing of the job when the job is valid includes:

separating the job into a plurality of tasks based on preset conditions;

verifying validity of a first task, which is one of the plurality of tasks;

processing the first task when the first task is valid; and

repeating the verifying of the validity of the first task and the processing of the first task until all of the plurality of tasks are processed.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the validity of the first task is verified based on at least one of an extension name of an analysis target data file of the first task and a capacity of the analysis target data file of the first task.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising uploading a processing result of the job to a storage according to an option preset by the first user.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising providing information about a status of the job to the first user in response to a status inquiry request of the job by the first user,

wherein the status inquiry request of the job includes information about an ID of the job.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the integrated control plane comprises a console module, an API service connection module, and the API service module.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the API service module includes an API manager configured to route a task associated with the first API service to one of the GPU-based worker nodes based on a type of the first API service.

15 . A system for providing a cloud-based application programming interface (API) service, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions, the instructions cause the processor, when executed by the processor, to perform operations of:

issuing an authentication key corresponding to an application for some of a plurality of API services;

performing authentication for a first user using the issued authentication key in response to a call for a first API service by the first user; and

executing the first API service based on a result of the authentication,

wherein the operations are performed within an integrated control plane of a cloud service provider, and

wherein the plurality of API services are artificial intelligence (AI)-based data analysis services executed on graphics processing unit (GPU)-based worker nodes managed by an API service module of the integrated control plane.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the executing of the first API service includes:

acquiring analysis target data from a linked storage; and

generating an analysis result for the analysis target data by executing the first API service.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the first API service is an asynchronous type API service, and

the executing of the first API service includes:

generating a job for the first API service and processing the generated job; and

providing an ID of the job to the first user before processing the job.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the generating of the job for the first API service and the processing of the generated job includes:

generating a job for the first API service and inserting the job into a queue;

fetching the job from the queue and verifying validity of the job; and

processing the job when the job is valid.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the processing of the job when the job is valid includes:

separating the job into a plurality of tasks based on preset conditions;

verifying validity of a first task, which is one of the plurality of tasks;

processing the first task when the first task is valid; and

repeating the verifying of the validity of the first task and the processing of the first task until all of the plurality of tasks are processed.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the validity of the first task is verified based on at least one of an extension name of an analysis target data file of the first task and a capacity of the analysis target data file of the first task.
