A computer-implemented method and system for authenticating API is provided. An API invocation request associated with a user is received. An API operation and the shareable API key includes validating API key credentials of the shareable API key associated with the API invocation request. There is an additional validation of user credentials of the user associated with the API invocation request. It is determined whether the user having the validated user credentials is authorized to use the shareable API key to invoke the API operation. The API operation is executed in response to determining the user having validated user credentials is authorized to use the shareable API key to invoke the API operation. The authentication integrates validation of the user and the shareable API key, and determines whether a user is a subscriber of a multi-tenant subscription service.

Authenticating API service invocations

A system for extending application programming interfaces provided by web service providers to interface with web services includes an application programming interface extender; a plurality of application programming interface extensions; and a catalog of the application programming interface extensions. The catalog logically links the application programming interface extensions with the application programming interfaces and provides an interface to first developers who upload the application programming interface extensions to the platform and second developers who develop applications which access the web services via the application programming interface extensions. The application programming interface extender receives requests to access given ones of the application programming interface extensions and routes at least some of the requests to the application programming interface extensions.

Dynamic extensibility of application programming interfaces

Systems and methods are provided for rendering modality-independent scripts (e.g., intent-based markup scripts) in a multi-modal environment, whereby a user can interact with an application using a plurality of modalities (e.g., speech and GUI) with I/O events being automatically synchronized over the plurality of modalities presented. In one aspect, immediate synchronized rendering of the modality-independent document in each of the supported modalities is provided. In another aspect, deferred rendering and presentation of intent-based scripts to an end user is provided, wherein a speech markup language script (such as a VoiceXML document) is generated from the modality-independent script and rendered (via, e.g., VoiceXML browser) at a later time.
