Abstract

A system for extending application programming interfaces provided by web service providers to interface with web services includes an application programming interface extender; a plurality of application programming interface extensions; and a catalog of the application programming interface extensions. The catalog logically links the application programming interface extensions with the application programming interfaces and provides an interface to first developers who upload the application programming interface extensions to the platform and second developers who develop applications which access the web services via the application programming interface extensions. The application programming interface extender receives requests to access given ones of the application programming interface extensions and routes at least some of the requests to the application programming interface extensions.
