Abstract

Claims (44)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computing system from a first device, a request to identify application programming interface (API) endpoints that are configured to perform a search operation;

determining, by the computing system, that first and second API endpoints of the computing system are both configured to perform search operation operations;

sending, from the computing system to the first device and based at least in part on the first and second API endpoints both being configured to perform search operations, indications of the first API endpoint and the second API endpoint;

receiving, at the first API endpoint and from the first device, a first API call requesting performance of a first search operation;

executing, by the computing system and based on the first API call, a first script to send at least a second API call to a third API endpoint of a first system of record, the second API call representing a request to perform the first search operation;

receiving, by the computing system and from the first system of record, first search results in response to the second API call;

generating, by the computing system and based at least in part on the first search results, a first response to the first API call, the first response representing the first search results;

sending, from the computing system to the first device, the first response;

receiving, at the second API endpoint and from the first device, a third API call requesting performance of a second search operation;

executing, by the computing system and based on the third API call, a second script to generate at least a fourth API call to a fourth API endpoint of a second system of record, the fourth API call representing a request to perform the second search operation;

receiving, by the computing system and from the second system of record, second search results in response to the fourth API call;

generating, by the computing system and based at least in part on the second search results, a second response to the third API call, the second response representing the second search results; and

sending, from the computing system to the first device, the second response.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the first API endpoint is configured to perform the search operation further comprises:

determining that the request to identify the API endpoints includes a first indicator of the search operation;

determining that the first API endpoint is associated with the first indicator; and

determining, based at least in part on the request to identify the API endpoints including the first indicator and the first API endpoint being associated with the first indicator, that the first API endpoint is configured to perform the search operation.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

prior to receiving the request to identify the API endpoints, receiving, from a second device, an indication that the first API endpoint is configured to perform the search operation; and

storing, by the computing system and based at least in part on the first API endpoint being configured to perform the search operation, a second indicator in association with the first API endpoint;

wherein determining that the first API endpoint is associated with the first indicator further comprises determining that the second indicator corresponds to the first indicator.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the computing system, access credentials associated with a user of the first API call; and

using the access credentials to make the second API call.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first API endpoint has a first input schema, the second API endpoint has a second input schema that is different than the first input schema, and executing the first script further comprises:

generating, by the computing system, the second API call according to the second input schema.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first API endpoint has a first output schema, the second API endpoint has a second output schema that is different than the first output schema, and generating the second response further comprises:

generating, by the computing system, the second response in accordance with the first output schema.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first API call and the third API call originate from the first device, and the method further comprises:

receiving, by the computing system and from the first device, a request to identify API endpoints configured to perform a first type of operation;

determining, by the computing system, that the first API endpoint and the third API endpoint are both configured to perform the first type of operation; and

sending, from the computing system to the first device and based at least in part on the first API endpoint and the third API endpoint both being configured to perform the first type of operation, indications of the first API endpoint and the third API endpoint.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining that the first API endpoint and the third API endpoint are both configured to perform the first type of operation further comprises:

determining that the request to identify the API endpoints includes a first indicator of the first type of operation;

determining that the first API endpoint is associated with the first indicator;

determining that the third API endpoint is associated with the first indicator; and

determining, based at least in part on the request to identify the API endpoints including the first indicator and the first API endpoint and the third API endpoint both being associated with the first indicator, that the first API endpoint and the third API endpoint are both configured to perform the first type of operation.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

prior to receiving the request to identify the API endpoints, receiving a first indication that first API endpoint is configured to perform the first type of operation;

storing, by the computing system and based at least in part on the first API endpoint being configured to perform the first type of operation, a second indicator in association with the first API endpoint;

prior to receiving the request, receiving a second indication that third API endpoint is configured to perform the first type of operation; and

storing, by the computing system and based at least in part on the third API endpoint being configured to perform the first type of operation, a third indicator in association with the third API endpoint;

wherein determining that the first API endpoint is associated with the first indicator further comprises determining that the second indicator corresponds to the first indicator, and determining that the third API endpoint is associated with the first indicator further comprises determining that the third indicator corresponds to the first indicator.
