Interceptor hub for service-consuming applications

A system for providing a user interface for an interceptor hub application, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory;
• and
• a bus, wherein
• the system is configured to perform:
• executing the interceptor hub application;
• receiving via a network, by the interceptor hub application executing on a first computing device included in the system, a request for a plurality of services from a first service-consuming application executing on a second computing device, the plurality of services executing on at least one other computing device and being accessible via the first computing device through the network, the request being in a first format for an interceptor interface;
• converting, by the interceptor hub application, at least some information in the received request to a second format of a corresponding interface of at least one of the requested plurality of services;
• sending, by the interceptor hub application, a respective request to the each of the requested plurality of services executing on a corresponding one of the at least one other computing device, at least some of the respective requests including a corresponding portion of the information in the second format;
• receiving, by the interceptor hub application, a respective service response from the each of the plurality of respective services;
• providing, by the interceptor hub application, each of the respective service responses in a combined service response to the first service-consuming application in a corresponding response format expected by the first service-consuming application;
• receiving, via the user interface of the interceptor hub application, a first request from a user of a client for permission to access a first application program interface/endpoint;
• providing, by the interceptor hub application, the first request to a first manager of the first application program interface/endpoint;
• receiving, via the interceptor hub application, approval of the first request from the first manager responsive to the providing of the first request to the first manager;
• and
• providing, by the interceptor hub application, the client with access to the first application program interface/endpoint responsive to the receiving of the approval of the first request.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions recorded thereon, wherein when the instructions are executed by a processor of a first computing device, the first computing device is configured to perform:

• receiving via a network, by an interceptor hub application executing on a first computing device, a request for a plurality of services from a first service-consuming application executing on a second computing device, the plurality of services executing on at least one other computing device and being accessible via the first computing device through the network, the request being in a first format for an interceptor interface;
• converting, by the interceptor hub application, at least some information in the received request to a second format of a corresponding interface of at least one of the requested plurality of services;
• sending, by the interceptor hub application, a respective request to the each of the requested plurality of services executing on a corresponding one of the at least one other computing device, at least some of the respective requests including a corresponding portion of the information in the second format;
• receiving, by the interceptor hub application, a respective service response from the each of the plurality of respective services;
• providing, by the interceptor hub application, each of the respective service responses in a combined service response to the first service-consuming application in a corresponding response format expected by the first service-consuming application;
• receiving, via a user interface of the interceptor hub application, a first request from a user of a client for permission to access a first application program interface/endpoint;
• providing, by the interceptor hub application, the first request to a first manager of the first application program interface/endpoint;
• receiving, via the interceptor hub application, approval of the first request from the first manager responsive to the providing of the first request to the first manager;
• and
• providing, by the interceptor hub application, the client with access to the first application program interface/endpoint responsive to the receiving of the approval of the first request.
