Dynamic api for accessing organized data sets
The granted patent US12073267B2 outlines a method and system for accessing data through a dynamic application programming interface (API). The process begins with a computer system receiving a data access request from a requesting service, which is structured according to a target schema. The system identifies an endpoint configuration for the relevant domain, generated from an API description that details the target schema. It then decorates this configuration using an object map that correlates the target schema with a common schema, incorporating additional information from metadata documents. The request is translated into the common schema, leading to the generation of a SQL request, which is executed to retrieve the desired data from the domain.
Further claims detail additional functionalities, such as translating the retrieved data back into the target schema before sending it back to the requesting service. The system can identify headers in requests to match them with endpoint configurations using a reduce function aligned with OpenAPI documents. It also includes provisions for generating SQL requests based on identified query sets and forwarding these requests to a data API for data retrieval. Additionally, the system can create a controller instance for the domain based on the API description, which is specified as an OpenAPI document that outlines available data sets and RESTful operations. This comprehensive approach aims to streamline data access across various domains while ensuring compatibility between different schemas.
