A client device provides to a user, in an application associated with a social-networking service provided by a server system, a link to a page associated with a third-party service provider. The third-party service provider is distinct from the social-networking service. In response to user selection of the link, the page is loaded within the application. The page includes script for calling one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) of the server system. The client device calls the one or more APIs to obtain information associated with the user from the server system. The client device displays the page within the application, and uses the information associated with the user to conduct a transaction with the third-party service provider through the page.

Methods and systems for accessing third-party services within applications

Techniques are provided for enhancing a user's browsing experience, especially when the user is browsing third party websites via an application. For example, a user may use the application to browse web pages served from a third party website that is associated with a particular domain. While browsing the third party web pages, the user may save a URL corresponding to a third party web page that the user is currently viewing. In this manner, the user may store one or more URLs corresponding to web pages served from the third party website and/or served from multiple different third party domains browsed by the user. The saved URLs may be associated with the user. When the user browses web pages associated with a particular domain, a user selectable option may be provided that enables the user to see URLs stored for the user that are associated with that particular domain. The user may then select a particular displayed URL to access the web page corresponding to the selected URL.
