Apparatus, system, and method for facilitating data flow between a first application programming interface and a second application programming interface

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for facilitating data flow between a first application programming interface (“API”) and a second API. The function receiving module receives a first function call from a calling application. The first function call is directed at one or more files comprising an API signature according to the first API. The function converting module converts the first function call according to the first API into a second function call according to a second API. The sending module sends the second function call to a processing application. The result receiving module receives a first data result from the processing application according to the second API. The result converting module converts the first data result according to the second API to a second data result according to the first API. The returning module returns the second data result to the calling application.

1. An apparatus for facilitating data flow between a first Application Programming Interface (“API”) and a second API, the apparatus comprising:
a function receiving module that receives a first function call from a calling application sending and receiving data according to a first API, the first function call directed at one or more files comprising an API signature according to the first API, the one or more files comprising a function having a same function signature as a function signature of the first function call; an interfacing module that retrieves external data from a data source external to the calling application, the external data corresponding to one or more data values of the first function call; a function converting module that converts the first function call according to the first API into a second function call according to a second API, the external data being used with the second function call; a sending module that sends the second function call to a processing application according to the second API, the processing application sending and receiving data according to the second API; a result receiving module that receives a first data result from the processing application according to the second API; a result converting module that converts the first data result according to the second API to a second data result according to the first API; and a returning module that returns the second data result to the calling application according to the first API.
