receiving an inbound REST response message from the IIoT machine, the inbound REST response message being responsive to the outbound REST call;

executing a second configuration program based on the inbound REST response message; and

transmitting an outbound REST response message to requesting device.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein executing the first configuration program causes the adding of a new parameter to the second plurality of parameters, the new parameter being not included in the first plurality of parameters.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein executing the first configuration program causes a first parameter of the first plurality of parameters to be excluded from the second plurality of parameters.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein executing the first configuration program causes the changing of a first parameter of the first plurality of parameters into an altered parameter, the altered parameter being included in the second plurality of parameters.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a second REST call;

determining that the second REST call satisfies one or more conditional elements of a second service configuration; and

executing a second configuration program causing rejection of the second REST call.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying a uniform resource locator (URL) from the first REST call; and

determining an address associated with the IIoT machine based on the URL from the first REST call,

wherein constructing the outbound REST call further includes constructing the outbound REST to call to include the address.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving an incoming representational state transfer (REST) call from a requesting device, the REST call, the REST call being an operational call identifying an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) machine using a custom identifier, the IIoT machine executing a service exposing a REST-ful application programming interface (API);
