Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting, storing, and displaying content items are provided, in which complex content selection logic is performed at a content provider environment (i.e., server-side) and selected content items are transmitted to and stored locally at a client device. Thus, the client device can quickly load a content item for display when a content display opportunity occurs, rotating through the stored content items with relatively simple logic. The client device may transmit a request to the content provider for more content if the amount of available content items is below a threshold. The content provider then runs content selection logic designated for the specific client device and selects one or more new content items to transmit to the client device.

Abstract: A computerized method for integrating message-based services with external execution environments includes receiving from a first external execution environment a request to access message-based services of a messaging software. A processor determines whether the first external execution environment includes a pre-existing relationship with the messaging software. If no, the processor requests access to a second external execution environment on behalf of the first external execution environment. The processor receives a response from the second external execution environment granting the access; and the processor grants the request from the first external execution environment to access the message-based services in the messaging service while integrating services from the second external execution environment to the messaging software. If yes, the processor identifies parameters associated with the pre-existing relationship and grants the request from the first external execution environment.
