Abstract

A method for automatically generating sample code for an API for payment processing in a payment network includes reading an acquirer processor-specific API for payment processing in a payment network using an acquirer processor-specific API reader, generating acquirer processor-specific API data using the acquirer processor-specific API reader, converting the acquirer processor-specific API data into a format compatible with an output generator, and generating language-specific sample code by the output generator using the converted acquirer processor-specific API data and a language-specific template.

Claims (43)

1. A method of automatically generating sample code for an application programming interface (API) for electronic transactions processing in an electronic transactions network, the method comprising:

passing, by at least one processor, processor-specific API data to a language-specific backend module;

converting, by the at least one processor, the processor-specific API data into a format compatible with an output generator using the language-specific backend module;

passing, by the at least one processor, the converted processor-specific API data and a language-specific template corresponding to the processor-specific API data to the output generator using a backend generator; and

generating, by the at least one processor, language-specific sample code by the output generator using the converted processor-specific API data and the language-specific template corresponding to the processor-specific API data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed within a continuous integration system.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

validating, by the at least one processor, the generated language-specific sample code; and

updating, by the at least one processor, the backend generator according to a result of the validation.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the validation includes performing, by the at least one processor, round-trip test transactions with an acquirer processor using configuration files and sample transaction data.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, by the at least one processor, a change in the processor-specific API data; and

updating, by the at least one processor, the backend generator according to the detected change in the processor-specific API data.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method of automatically generating sample code for an application programming interface (API) for electronic transactions processing in an electronic transactions network, the method comprising:

passing, by at least one processor, processor-specific API data to a language-specific backend module;

converting, by the at least one processor, the processor-specific API data into a format compatible with an output generator using the language-specific backend module;

passing, by the at least one processor, the converted processor-specific API data and a language-specific template corresponding to the processor-specific API data to the output generator using a backend generator; and

generating, by the at least one processor, language-specific sample code by the output generator using the converted processor-specific API data and the language-specific template corresponding to the processor-specific API data.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the method is performed within a continuous integration system.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , the method further comprising:

validating, by the at least one processor, the generated language-specific sample code; and

updating, by the at least one processor, the backend generator according to a result of the validation.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the validation includes performing, by the at least one processor, round-trip test transactions with an acquirer processor using configuration files and sample transaction data.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , the method further comprising:

detecting, by the at least one processor, a change in the processor-specific API data; and

updating, by the at least one processor, the backend generator according to the detected change in the processor-specific API data.

11. A computer system for automatically generating sample code for an application programming interface (API) for electronic transactions processing in an electronic transactions network, the computer system comprising:

a memory;

at least one processor;

a backend generator configured to:

pass, by at least one processor, processor-specific API data to a language-specific backend module;

convert, by the at least one processor, the processor-specific API data into a format compatible with an output generator using the language-specific backend module; and

pass, by the at least one processor, the converted processor-specific API data and a language-specific template corresponding to the processor-specific API data to the output generator using the backend generator; and

an output generator configured to:

generate, by the at least one processor, language-specific sample code using the converted processor-specific API data and the language-specific template corresponding to the processor-specific API data.

12. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the backend generator and the output generator operate within a continuous integration system.

13. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the output generator is further configured to:

validate, by the at least one processor, the generated language-specific sample code; and

update, by the at least one processor, the backend generator according to a result of the validation.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the validation includes performing, by the at least one processor, round-trip test transactions with an acquirer processor using configuration files and sample transaction data.

15. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the output generator is further configured to:

detect, by the at least one processor, a change in the processor-specific API data; and

update, by the at least one processor, the backend generator according to the detected change in the processor-specific API data.
