Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating access to web services, wherein function calls are packaged with information and/or code that facilitates use of the function calls. One embodiment comprises a system that includes a server, where the server is configured to provide a web service accessible through a function call. The server is configured to bundle the function call for the web service with information for facilitating execution of the function call and to distribute the resulting function call package. The information for facilitating the function call may include parameters for the call or software code that can be configured to format user input for use as parameters of the function call, to prompt the user for parameters, to control the display of the web services received in response to execution of the function call, or to otherwise facilitate use of the function call.
