Interface agnostic validated unified platform queries

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions executable to:

• intercept a request for shared data directed to one of a plurality of web applications that use the shared data collected from a plurality of clients, wherein:
• the request comprises a query that is generated using a single query language provided by a single query language service,
• the request is received from a user interface associated with a web application executing on a client,
• the user interface is rendered by the client based on a specification of the web application, and
• the shared data is collected by application-specific agents executing on the clients;
• forward the request to a unified application programming interface (API) instead of a disparate unique API associated with the web application;
• authenticate the request from the client externally from the web application using the unified API based on a subscription for the single query language service, wherein the authenticating includes a validation of the request that verifies (a) the request includes a cookie and session information associated with an identity management session and (b) the query is permitted under one or more role based access control (RBAC) requirements;
• append a header to the request that comprises validation information associated with the validation of the request performed during the authenticating of the request;
• append another header to the request that indicates that the request has been validated using the unified API instead of the disparate unique API;
• and
• authorize the request for the shared data to be displayed in the user interface based on a data structure defined by the unified API instead of the specification.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the one or more processors to:
• intercept a request for shared data directed to one of a plurality of web applications that use the shared data collected from a plurality of clients, wherein:
• the request comprises a query that is generated using a single query language provided by a single query language service,
• the request is received from a user interface associated with a web application executing on a client,
• the user interface is rendered by the client based on a specification of the web application, and
• the shared data is collected by application-specific agents executing on the clients;
• forward the request to a unified application programming interface (API) instead of a disparate unique API associated with the web application;
• authenticate the request from the client externally from the web application using the unified API based on a subscription for the single query language service, wherein the authenticating includes a validation of the request that verifies (a) the request includes a cookie and session information associated with an identity management session and (b) the query is permitted under one or more role based access control (RBAC) requirements;
• append a header to the request that comprises validation information associated with the validation of the request performed during the authenticating of the request;
• append another header to the request that indicates that the request has been validated using the unified API instead of the disparate unique API;
• and
• authorize the request for the shared data to be displayed in the user interface based on a data structure defined by the unified API instead of the specification.
