Application and platform for integrating microapps using application programming interfaces (APIs)

A computing system, comprising:

• a plurality of microapps including at least one microapp;
• a container application configured to receive an application output from the at least one microapp via an application programming interface;
• at least one processor;
• at least one tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• providing, for display within a first panel in a user interface, a navigation bar based on data received from the container application;
• receiving, at the container application, the application output from the at least one microapp via the application programming interface;
• providing, for display within a second panel in the user interface, data describing the application output;
• providing, by the container application, a setting panel for at least one global setting that applies globally to two or more of the plurality of microapps and at least one individual setting that applies to the at least one microapp;
• controlling, by the container application, operation of the two or more of the plurality of microapps based on the at least one global setting;
• and
• controlling, by the container application, operation of the at least one microapp based on the at least one individual setting.
