Dynamic identification and selection of application programming interface

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed herein for selection of an electronic system to perform a transaction requested from within software. Using technologies described herein, software can utilize different electronic systems to perform a transaction. For example, software may allow a user to acquire processing by a remote system, such as obtaining additional content or services from more than one electronic system. Instead of software being tied to a particular electronic system (e.g., the electronic system from which the software was acquired), the software can identify and provide options of different electronic systems for performing a transaction. A software provider can use a software developer kit and/or application programming interfaces provided by a service provider to incorporate functionality to identify and access the different electronic systems that are available for selection.
