Social network application programming interface

摘要

Disclosed in one example is a method for interfacing with multiple social networks. The method includes receiving a call from a social networking service agnostic social networking application for one of a plurality of social networking functions in a first format, translating the call in the first format to a call in a second format, the second format being one of a plurality of heterogeneous social networking service application programming interface formats, and passing the call in the second format to a first social networking service by utilizing a first social networking service application programming interface.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a function call of a social networking application, the social networking application independent of a social networking service and the function call formatted according to a social networking service agnostic application programming interface (API); determining a set of social networking service specific APIs that are a target of the function call based in part on:
selecting, using a multiplexor, a social networking service specific API to be included in the set of social networking service specific APIs based on a parameter included in the function call; converting, using at least one processor, the function call from the social networking agnostic API to a function call compatible with a subset of the set of social networking specific APIs; and executing the converted function call using the subset of social networking services specific APIs.
