Abstract
A system is described allowing a user to log into an API proxy by supplying login credentials and to have the API proxy log into the APIs of various web-based applications on behalf of the user by using the user's login credentials, without the user needing to separately log into each application. Calls made by the user to an application and application replies are routed through the API proxy. Further, the API proxy manages session expirations, e.g., by sending dummy calls to applications that exhibit idle expiration.
