Managing application programming interfaces in a collaboration space

A system comprising:

• an interface to a plurality of users;
• a collaboration hosting engine executable by a processor, to communicate with the plurality of users via the interface, the collaboration hosting engine to:
• provide a collaboration space to the plurality of users,
• host a plurality of application programming interfaces in the collaboration space, the plurality of application programming interfaces comprising an application programming interfaces uploaded by a user, wherein the plurality of application programming interfaces permit the plurality of users to invoke a plurality of different web applications via the collaboration space,
• invoke a selected web application of the plurality of different web applications from inside the collaboration space via an application programming interface among the plurality of application programming interfaces, and
• execute the selected web application in the collaboration space on behalf of a user in view of an access privilege comprising a subscription status associated with the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• providing a collaboration space to a plurality of users;
• hosting a plurality of application programming interfaces in the collaboration space, the plurality of application programming interfaces comprising an application programming interfaces uploaded by a user, wherein the plurality of application programming interfaces permit the plurality of users to invoke a plurality of different web applications via the collaboration space;
• invoking a selected web application of the plurality of different web applications via an application programming interface among the plurality of application programming interfaces hosted in the collaboration space on behalf of a user in view of an access privilege comprising a subscription status associated with the user;
• transmitting user-supplied data to the selected web application of the plurality of different web applications via the application programming interface;
• and
• transmitting a plurality of output data generated by the selected web application of the plurality of different web applications to a user via the collaboration space.
