US 2023/0412570 A1 · CONFIGURABLE PROXYING APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE FAÇADE SERVICE

Abstract

Methods and systems for a configurable proxying application program interface (API) façade service. A method for using a proxying API façade service includes, for each proxying API façade, selecting exposed endpoint(s) associated with proxy subject API(s), each selected exposed endpoint corresponding to a mapped proxy endpoint in a proxying API façade, selecting one or more components, setting one or more rights and policies, storing one or more mapped proxy endpoints, the one or more components, and the one or more rights and policies as proxying API façade configuration data in an externalized configuration store, generating each proxying API façade by loading a corresponding proxying API façade configuration data from the externalized configuration store, and integrating a proxy client of each proxying API façade with a credential management server, the credential management server configured to authenticate access to a proxy subject API by a proxy client responsive to a client request.

Dependent claims

A method for using a proxying application program interface (API) façade service, the method comprising:

for each proxying API façade:
selecting one or more exposed endpoints associated with one or more proxy subject APIs, each selected exposed endpoint corresponding to a mapped proxy endpoint in a proxying API façade;
selecting one or more components;
setting one or more rights and policies;
storing one or more mapped proxy endpoints, the one or more components, and the one or more rights and policies as proxying API façade configuration data in an externalized configuration store;
generating each proxying API façade by loading a corresponding proxying API façade configuration data from the externalized configuration store;
and
integrating a proxy client of each proxying API façade with a credential management server, the credential management server configured to authenticate access to a proxy subject API by a proxy client responsive to a client request.

A service provider system, comprising:

a configuration store;
a credential management server;
and
a proxying application program interface (API) façade service deployed in a cloud computing platform, the proxying API façade service configured to:
for each proxying API façade:
receive an input of one or more exposed endpoints associated with one or more proxy subject APIs, each selected exposed endpoint corresponding to a mapped proxy endpoint in a proxying API façade;
receive an input for one or more components;
receive an input for one or more rights and policies;
and
store one or more mapped proxy endpoints, the one or more components, and the one or more rights and policies as proxying API façade configuration data in the configuration store;
instantiate, on the cloud computing platform, each proxying API façade by loading a corresponding proxying API façade configuration data from the configuration store;
and
connect a proxy client of each proxying API façade with the credential management server, the credential management server configured to authenticate access to a proxy subject API by a proxy client responsive to a client request.
