Embodiments validate representational state transfer (“REST”) application program interfaces (“API”). Embodiments receive a REST API specification that provides information for a plurality of REST APIs and parse the REST API specification to extract, for each REST API, a corresponding Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”), and corresponding parameter names response codes and payloads. Embodiments convert the parsed REST API specification into a converted text file, the converting including parameter constraints and parameter default values. Embodiments then generate all possible combinations of test data for each REST API from the converted text file and perform one or more test operations on each of the combinations of test data.

Representational state transfer (REST) based geo-aware content transfer includes a REST server configured for receiving an application programming interface (API) request from a client device. The REST server obtains a upload universal resource locator (URL) targeting a caching server that is geographically closest to the client device, constructs an upload link containing the upload URL and a completion callback, and sends the upload link to the client device. The client device uses the upload URL to upload content to the caching server. The caching server interprets the completion callback to obtain a completion URL and, upon completion of content uploading, makes a REST API call using the completion URL. Responsive to the REST API call, the REST server executes an inbound operation to complete the uploading to a content management system and returns the content URL to the caching server which sends the content URL to the client device.

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving transfer parameters associated with a request for a first transfer of resources, the transfer parameters including an identifier of a designated transferor associated with the first transfer; determining that the transferor is eligible to access at least one protected data source based on the transfer parameters; generating a request message for the request including reference data for accessing the at least one protected data source; and providing, to a computing device associated with the transferor, the request message.

Simultaneous distributed application support of multiple identity management systems is provided through the use of virtual web server instances, which enable one identity management system, on physical servers already running a pre-existing web server instance, which enables a different identity management system. Further, an intelligent rules-based determination is implemented to determine whether to route an access request to either the virtual or pre-existing web server instance. Since the virtual web server instances are generated on the same physical server that executes the pre-existing web service instance, the the existing network flow (i.e., a single URL) and physical infrastructure is leveraged to create a simplified approach to managing the simultaneous use of multiple identity management systems across different distributed applications.

A media storage service may store a plurality of copies of a same media recording in cloud DVR, one copy specific to one of a plurality of clients. The client may interact directly with the media storage service based on path-based indexing techniques for playback of the media recording. The client may send a request, including a path of a manifest file associated with the copy specific to the client, to the media storage service. The manifest file may include information indicating respective paths of one or more segments of the copy. The media storage service may identify and return the manifest file to the client. The media storage service may further receive requests from the client to access the segments of the copy. The requests may include the respective paths, based on which the media storage service may retrieve the segments for the client to play.

A method of normalizing URLs associated with a real user session comprises extracting uniform resource locators (URLs) from ingested spans where at least a portion of the URLs comprise unique URL strings. The method also comprises decomposing each of the URLs into a sequence of tokens and grouping together subsets of related URLs. Also, the method comprises representing each subset of related URLs with a normalized URL string.

A URL and a categorization associated with the URL are received. A key associated with the received URL is determined. An operation is performed on a database using the determined key. Examples of such operations include inserting the categorization into the database, changing a value associated with the key in the database, removing a key-value pair from the database, and querying the database.

A method and apparatus of processing a user initiated request for information is disclosed. The method may provide receiving a user initiated request including a uniform resource locator (URL) submitted to a web browser application and receiving a response that the URL is an invalid URL that cannot be resolved to a corresponding webpage. The method may also include blocking a subsequent attempt to transmit the user initiated request as a browser modified search request that includes modifications to the user initiated request.

Described herein are methods, systems and computer products for supporting user interactive actions in workflows integrating multiple disparate web applications by adding (embedding) one or more User Interface (UI) elements in one or more webpages of one or more web applications and linking them with respective workflows. Users visiting these webpages may engage with the added UI elements to interact with the linked workflows. Further described are methods, systems and computer products for enhancing performance of one or more workflows integrating multiple disparate web applications by adjusting the workflows to asynchronously initiate actions which are independent of each other such that the independent actions are executed simultaneously.

Systems and methods are disclosed for application data amalgamation through integration with third-party applications. A dynamic stub operates within a user interface application on a client computing device. The dynamic stub enables integration of functionality of an associated middleware system. The dynamic stub extracts data from a user interface of a third-party application system based on a set of data capture components. The dynamic stub transmits data to the middleware system. The middleware system transmits information back to the dynamic stub based on the data. The middleware system can reconfigure the dynamic stub in order to alter at least a portion of the user interface based on the information received from the middleware system.
