Systems and methods for implementing overlapping data caching for object application program interfaces

A system for implementing an overlapping data cache, said system comprising:

• a computing device executing an application program interface (API) gateway, the computing device being in communication with the overlapping data cache and being configured to:
• input, over a network connection, an object API request from a client device, the object API request comprising a query for data associated with one or more data services in communication with the API gateway;
• parse the object API request into one or more sub-components;
• for each sub-component, the computing device is further configured to:
• determine if the sub-component overlaps with a sub-component of a prior object API request based on one or more secondary cache keys associated with the sub-component and the sub-component of the prior object API request, and data attributes of the sub-component are a subset of data attributes of the sub-component of the prior object API request,
• retrieve response data associated with the sub-component of the prior request from the overlapping data cache when it is determined that the sub-component overlaps with the sub-component of the prior object API request, and
• initiate a call to a data service of the one or more data service to receive response data associated with the sub-component when it is determined that the sub-component does not overlap with the sub-component of the prior object API request;
• and
• return to the client device a combined response to the API request, the combined response comprising any retrieved response data from the overlapping data cache and any received response data from the one or more data services.

• for each sub-component, the computing device is further configured to:
• determine if the sub-component overlaps with a sub-component of a prior object API request by determining that there one or more secondary cache keys associated with the sub-component and the sub-component of the prior object API request that is based on an object identifier assigned to the sub-component and the sub-component of the prior object API request,
• retrieve response data associated with the sub-component of the prior request from the overlapping data cache when it is determined that the sub-component overlaps with the sub-component of the prior object API request, and
