Abstract
Embodiments for a method of interfacing with a remote application programming interface (API) by defining an execution plan using an interface definition language and a dependency configuration file to generate a constrained directed graph of hierarchically dependent functions of the API, and executing the execution plan using an executing engine that traverses the graph to call the API functions in a defined order and convert data output by a parent function call to input required by a child function call until a terminal vertex is reached that results in directing the resulting in an action such as data to persist and/or affecting the state of a system.
