Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for automatically providing an API for a Web-based application. An API processing core receives a call, performs a variety of actions on the call prior to executing it, determines based on the actions whether the call is a valid API call to the currently existing application functionality, and if the call is a valid API call, executes it. The call syntax is constructed primarily out of elements applicable to any Web-based application using the system.
