Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for transforming an operation-centric API into a graph-based API. In one example, a method may include receiving a description of an application programming interface (API), translating the description into a proxy model that comprises a list of a plurality of operations performed by the API, executing one or more heuristic programs on the proxy model to determine a plurality of entities associated with the list of operations and relationships among the plurality of entities, generating a graph API based on the plurality of entities and the relationships among the plurality of entities, wherein the graph API comprises a plurality of nodes representing the plurality of entities and edges between the plurality of nodes representing the relationships between the plurality of entities, and storing the graph API in a storage.

Abstract: In a computer system, predefined search queries may be retrieved from a file. Each of the predefined search queries may be used by a search engine to search a data repository. User-understandable representations of the predefined search queries are displayed on a graphical user interface for user selection. A user input is received upon a user selecting at least one of the displayed user-understandable representations. Upon receiving the user input, the search engine is caused to perform the selected predefined search query in the data repository. The user-understandable representations may be items in one or more drop down list boxes. A results display declaration may specify the search result attributes that are to be displayed, and their formatting.
