The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing application-programming interface (API) calls. During operation, the system identifies a set of transformation rules that match one or more permissions associated with a first representation of a request to an API. Next, the system applies the set of transformation rules to a first set of fields in the first representation of the request to generate a second representation of the request, wherein the second representation of the request includes a second set of fields that is different from the first set of fields. The system then triggers processing of the request using the second set of fields by a service providing the API.

Dynamic rule-based transformation of API calls

In an example, an action is received in a user interface that necessitates access of data, corresponding to the user, stored by a second network entity distinct from, a first network entity. A combined consent screen is then displayed, the combined consent screen including a button which, when activated in the user interface, authorizes data corresponding to the user to be exchanged in both directions between the first network entity and the second network entity. In response to the receiving of the indication that the button has been activated, a first access grant is generated at the first network entity and sent to the second network entity. An exchange of authorization code is received from the second network entity. A first access token corresponding to the first access grant is generated and sent to the second network entity. A second access token corresponding to a second access grant is received.
