Publication number: 20240185200Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manages the allocation of values to application programming interface (API) requests by an end user. In one example, a monitoring service can determine at least one usage value associated with a user of an API provider based on conditional statements for the user and API usage information associated with the user. The monitoring service can further format the at least one usage value for the user based on a billing service for the user and communicate the at least one usage value to the billing service.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Derric Stephen Gilling, Xingheng Timothy Wang, Akash A.

Publication number: 20230102292Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one implementation, a secure proxy is used to obtain API request information and encrypt at least a portion of the API request information. Once encrypted the API request information is communicated to a monitoring service. The secure proxy is further configured to receive a summary request associated with usage of the API provider and encrypt at least one attribute in the request. The secure proxy also retrieves summary information from the API monitoring service using the request with the at least one encrypted attribute and generates a summary using the summary information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Derric Stephen Gilling, Devendra Kumar Modium, Xingheng Timothy Wang

Publication number: 20220204372Abstract: A process for constructing a soil-based rhizosphere flow-through system to break down contaminants in contaminated water. The process includes the steps of: providing plants planted in soil in a test bioreactor, the plants providing a rhizosphere; exposing the rhizosphere to the contaminated water, extracting microorganisms from the rhizosphere following their exposure to the contaminated water: preparing a microbial suspension from the extract; subjecting the microbial suspension to growth conditions to increase the concentration of the microorganism, thereby preparing a soil conditioner; adding the soil conditioner to soil in a contained area having a water flow inlet and outlet; and planting a plurality of plants in the soil, the plants being of the same species as the plants of the test bioreactor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventor: Lucian Stephen Gill

Patent number: 11281505Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one example, a monitoring service for an API service provider may obtain API request information from the API provider. The monitoring service may then compare the API request information to an API filter configuration obtained for the API provider, wherein the API filter configuration comprises criteria to filter API users of an API provider into a plurality of conversion categories. Based on the comparison, the monitoring service may determine a conversion category for each of the API users and generate a summary based on the conversion categories for the API users.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Moesif, Inc.Inventors: Derric Stephen Gilling, Xingheng Timothy Wang

Patent number: 10990455Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage and process application programming interface (API) statistics associated with an API provider. In one example, a monitoring service obtains API request information associated with API requests from API users to an API provider. The monitoring service determines time stamps for the API requests based on the API provider information and compares the time stamps to retention criteria for the API provider to determine a retention of the plurality of API users over time. The monitoring service further generates a summary based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Moesif, Inc.Inventors: Derric Stephen Gilling, Xingheng Timothy Wang
