  • Patent number: 11789787
    Abstract: Techniques for stitching application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate between applications are disclosed. Stitching APIs includes transferring data obtained using an API corresponding to a source application and an API corresponding to a destination. A system obtains a mapping file that maps data objects maintained by the source application to data objects maintained by the destination application. When the system receives a data transfer request, the system: (a) identifies the source application and the destination application, (b) identifies the mapping between objects maintained by the source application and objects maintained by the destination application, and (c) identifies the API calls for the source application and the destination application for performing the data transfer. Based on the mapping, the system invokes API calls to a source application and a destination application to transmit the data.
