Abstract
The system disclosed herein is composed of a network API gateway that is configured to assign credentials to a call to an operator network. The call is initiated based on a request received from an application. The credentials are used by an operator API to authenticate the call. The network API gateway creates and uses a connectivity representation as a basis for assigning the credentials to the call. The credentials are generated by the application making the request and the credentials are passed to the network API gateway as part of a translation session (e.g., five minute time interval) during which the network API gateway translates requests for the application. Consequently, each request sent by the application to the network API gateway during the translation session no longer needs its own credentials, and thus, the developer is released from the requirement of managing credentials for each request.
