Abstract
There are provided mechanisms and methods for providing access to an external service via an application services platform, utilizing an application program interface (API). These mechanisms and methods for providing access to an external service via an application services platform can provide an effective way of allowing access to such external service without necessarily forcing access to the external service separately with respect to the application services platform. The ability to provide such effective technique can enable the integration of an external service with an application services platform, thus allowing access to the external service in a more time effective manner.
