Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that uses an integration service to facilitate access to an origin service. During operation, the integration service receives a request service from a software platform, wherein the request is made through an integration service application programming interface (API) provided by the integration service. In response to the request, the integration service makes a corresponding request to the origin service, wherein the corresponding request is made through an origin service API provided by the origin service, and wherein making the corresponding request involves translating data received through the integration service API into a format suitable for the origin service API.
