Abstract
Methods and systems for managing data, resources, services, or the like in a distributed service system (e.g., a distributed service platform) are disclosed. Application programming interface (API) requests (e.g., API calls) containing short-form uniform resource identifiers (URI) having shared resource type names may be correctly and accurately routed to one or more resource providers (e.g., computing devices) making up the distributed service system that host instances of API(s). Such routing may be achieved even by users of the distributed service system that are not familiar with all of the instances and/or versions of APIs available on the distributed service system.
