User-initiated dynamic data application programming interface creation

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• automatically transform a user-provided query into one or more parameterized queries;
• generate a data application programming interface based on at least one of the parameterized queries;
• output the generated data application programming interface to the user providing the user-provided query;
• store the generated data application programming interface in a database accessible to one or more additional users;
• generate, based at least in part on at least one of the parameterized queries, a virtual end-point that corresponds to the generated data application programming interface, wherein said generating the virtual end point comprises creating multiple physical end-points at compile time with one or more path parameters;
• and
• output the virtual end-point to the user providing the user-provided query.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor operably coupled to the memory and configured for:
• automatically transforming a user-provided query into one or more parameterized queries;
• generating a data application programming interface based on at least one of the parameterized queries;
• outputting the generated data application programming interface to the user providing the user-provided query;
• storing the generated data application programming interface in a database accessible to one or more additional users;
• generating, based at least in part on at least one of the parameterized queries, a virtual end-point that corresponds to the generated data application programming interface, wherein said generating the virtual end point comprises creating multiple physical end-points at compile time with one or more path parameters;
• and
• outputting the virtual end-point to the user providing the user-provided query.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating a first prompt for input from a user, wherein the input in response to the first prompt comprises a concrete query;
• automatically transforming the user-input concrete query into multiple parameterized queries;
• generating multiple data application programming interfaces based on the multiple parameterized queries;
• generating, based at least in part on at least one of the multiple parameterized queries, one or more virtual end-points that correspond to the generated data application programming interfaces, wherein said generating the one or more virtual end points comprises creating multiple physical end-points at compile time with one or more path parameters;
• and
• presenting the generated data application programming interfaces and the one or more virtual end-points to the user;
• generating a second prompt for input from the user, wherein the input in response to the second prompt comprises a user selection of one of the presented data application programming interfaces and at least one of the one or more virtual end-points;
• and
• invoking the user-selected data application programming interfaces based on the input in response to the second prompt;
• wherein the method is carried out by at least one computing device.
