  • Patent number: 11943322
    Abstract: A method, a computing device, and a computer program product are provided. An interceptor hub application executing on a first computing device receives, via a network, a request for multiple services from a first service-consuming application executing on a second computing device. The multiple services execute on at least one other computing device and are accessible via the first computing device via the network. The interceptor hub application sends a respective request to each of the requested services executing on a corresponding one of the at least one other computing device. A respective service response from the each of the respective services is received by the interceptor hub application, which provides each of the respective responses in a combined service response to the first service-consuming.

  • Publication number: 20230421666
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided. An interceptor hub application (IHA) receives a request for services in a first format and converts at least some information in the request to a second format. Respective requests are sent to the requested services, at least some which include a corresponding portion of the information in the second format. The IHA receives respective service responses from the respective services and provides the respective service responses in an expected combined service response format. A first request for permission to access an application program interface/endpoint is received from a user of a client via an IHA user interface and is provided to a first manager of the application program interface/endpoint. Approval of the first request from the first manager is received, and in response, the interceptor hub application provides the client with access to the application program interface/endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11349956
    Abstract: A method, a computing device, and a computer program product are provided. An interceptor hub application receives, via a network, a request for multiple services from a first service-consuming application. The request is in a format for an interceptor interface. The interceptor hub application converts at least some information in the received request to a format of a corresponding interface of at least one of the requested services. The interceptor hub application sends a respective request to each of the requested services. The each respective request includes a corresponding portion of the information in the format of the corresponding service-oriented interface. A respective service response from the each of the respective services is received by the interceptor hub application, which provides each of the respective responses in a combined service response to the first service-consuming application in a format expected by the first service-consuming application.
