Abstract
There is provided an apparatus comprising means for: receiving, at a coordinating network function from a network function consumer, at least one data request, wherein the at least one data request indicates at least one version of an application programming interface supported by the network function consumer; and causing, by the coordinating network function, data to be provided to the network function consumer from at least one data source based on the at least one data request and one or more versions of an application programming interface supported by the at least one data source.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a network function consumer, at least one data request, wherein the at least one data request comprises a plurality of identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of identifiers indicates a respective application programming interface, and wherein the at least one request indicates at least one version of an application programming interface supported by the network function consumer;
- and
- cause, data to be provided to the network function consumer from at least one data source based on the at least one data request and one or more versions of an application programming interface supported by the at least one data source.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including a computer program code for a network function consumer, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- transmit, to a coordinating network function from a network function consumer, at least one data request, wherein the at least one data request comprises a plurality of data requests, wherein each of the plurality of data requests indicates a respective version of the application programming interface, and wherein the at least one request indicates at least one version of an application programming interface supported by the network function consumer;
- and
- receive, at the network function consumer, data based on the at least one data request and one or more versions of an application programming interface supported by at least one data source.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a network function consumer, at least one data request, wherein the at least one data request comprises a plurality of identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of identifiers indicates a respective application programming interface, and wherein the at least one request indicates at least one version of an application programming interface supported by the network function consumer;
- and
- causing data to be provided to the network function consumer from at least one data source based on the at least one data request and one or more versions of an application programming interface supported by the at least one data source.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, to a coordinating network function from a network function consumer, at least one data request, wherein the at least one data request comprises a plurality of data requests, wherein each of the plurality of data requests indicates a respective version of the application programming interface, and wherein the at least one request indicates at least one version of an application programming interface supported by the network function consumer;
- and
- receiving, at the network function consumer, data based on the at least one data request and one or more versions of an application programming interface supported by at least one data source.
