BACKGROUND
In the current digitalized era, many users have started utilizing a wide range of
communication devices including smart phone, tablets, laptop and the like. Moreover, with
the advent and the exploding popularity of internet, innumerable mobile applications have
been introduced through various mobile platforms. A majority of population is becoming
increasingly dependent upon distinct types of mobile applications for accomplishing
numerous day to day tasks and functions. In addition, the users now have a greater tendency
to utilize the mobile applications for serving their needs rather than making any physical
effort. The rise in demand for the services is increasing at a rapid pace. Accordingly, the
growing demand in various services has prompted application developers to collaborate with
various service vendors for providing their services online. These services are now being
showcased through various mobile applications on multiple platforms in order to reach out to
a maximum group of users.
Nowadays, various companies have started developing mobile applications for
marketing their products and services. These applications enable users to access a predefined
range of services of their choice on their respective communication devices.
Moreover, many businesses are engaged in providing a specific set of on demand services
through their mobile applications to the users based on their domain. Further, each
application belongs to a specific class or category of service provided by the application
provider. These applications may enable the users to utilize a number of day to day services
including taxi services, food services, housing services, parking services, health services,
retail services and the like.
Further, each application is built based on a certain platform and each platform has
some pre-defined entities or a foundation on which the applications are going to be
developed. Furthermore, each entity is defined or developed based on a type of the
application. These entities are commonly referred to as an application programming
interface which is used by every application developer for developing any type of
application. The application developers design the application programming interfaces for
their applications. Moreover, the application programming interface is a set of routines,
protocols and tools which are used by various application developers to develop mobile
applications. The application programming interfaces are configured for performing basic
functions of the mobile applications.
Nowadays, many application developers or providers have started providing their
application programming interfaces for their applications to other application developers to
some extent. The application developers allow other developers to utilize their application
programming interface for running their business. For example, an application developer
may utilize Google Maps API on their application for providing real time directions for
users. Moreover, these are open source APIs which can be used by various application
developers for building their application.
Presently, many companies have not exposed their application programming
interfaces to be utilized by other developers. However, a number of companies have started
dealing exclusively with other companies by enabling them to utilize or link their application
programming interface in their applications. The companies have started linking their
application programming interfaces with the applications programming interfaces of other
companies. Moreover, a single application developer may provide its application
programming interface to more than one company based on their choice. In addition, the
company needs to physically approach all the companies with whom it wants to deal with.
Further, the sharing of application programming interfaces is done for maximizing revenue.
The companies dealing in sharing of their application programming interfaces share the profit
as well based on a mutual contract between them.
The existing systems and methods for linking various application programming
interfaces with each other are inefficient. There is no such platform present in the art which
reduces the need for the application providers to physically approach other application
providers in order to deal with them. Moreover, the application developers have no idea
about which type of application programming interface they should link with in order to
generate more revenue. The present systems and methods do not allow the application
developers to optimize or define various parameters associated with the applications in order
to link with applications of their choice. There is no such system available in the art which
recommends the application developers with application programming interfaces of their
choice for linking. In addition, the present systems and methods do not provision the
application developers to define a particular location, time or price in order to link with other
applications. Furthermore, the application developers do not have the provision to choose
between a set of application programming interfaces for linking. This leads to wastage of
time and investment and results in loss of business.
In the light of the above stated discussion, there is a need for system that overcomes
the above stated disadvantages.
