System and method for a data interchange hub

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed to a data interchange hub (DIH) server that serves as an intermediary to exchange data between applications hosted by a client instance and external services. The DIH server receives and stores registration data that enables it to connect to each of these external services and informs the server of the data formats that each of the external services are expected to receive and provide. Once the external services have been registered, the DIH server enables applications hosted by the client instance to send data to, and to receive data from, these external services, while seamlessly handling communication, authentication, and data conversion. Additionally, the DIH server can additionally or alternatively act as an intermediary to exchange data between the registered services. As such, the disclosed DIH server can provide a single point of access for applications hosted by the client instance and registered services to exchange data.
