API-based method for sending and receiving information, API-based apparatus, and API-based system

Abstract

The invention discloses an API-based method for sending and receiving information, an API-based apparatus, and an API-based system. The method comprises: a client determining a service API corresponding to the operation request of a terminal user; according to an API dictionary which records the attribute information of the service API, determining the attribute information corresponding to the service API, and determining whether the context of a parameter value locally stored by the client records a parameter value corresponding to the API parameter of the service API; when the context of the parameter value locally stored by the client does not record the parameter value corresponding to the API parameter of the service API, according to a parameter value obtaining path, sending a server end a request for sequentially scheduling APIs in the parameter value obtaining path; and receiving the return value of the server end, and according to the return value, constructing an API service request corresponding to the service API and sending the API service request to the server end. According to the invention, the real-time performance of API updating can be better improved, and the processing resources are saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of information processing, and in particular to a method, device and system for sending and receiving information based on an application programming interface (API, Application Programming Interface). Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of network technologies, network servers can provide more and more services to terminal users through terminals. In practical applications, the server provides application services for end users, mainly by installing and running a client application program (hereinafter referred to as client) with specified functions on the terminal to provide application services for end users. Services provided to terminals. During the running process, the client mainly sends an API service information request to the server through the API and attribute information agreed with the server (where the server is set in the server). Among them, the API is used to...

Problems solved by technology

For the server, it receives the API service information request sent by the client, and then determines the operation object of the client request operation according to the parameter value contained in the API service information request, and processes the received API service information request, and sends the client The information requested by the client is sent to the client. If the parameter value carried in the API service information request sent by the client is inconsistent with the parameter value corresponding to the API locally supported by the server, the server generally refuses to process the API service information request. , even if the received API service information request is processed, because the parameter value it carries is inconsistent with the parameter value recorded by the server, the processing will fail, which will lead to the failure of the client's request

At present, during the normal operation of the client, the cause of API request failure is mainly the API supported by the current version of the client and the attribute information saved corresponding to the API, and the latest version of the client’s API supported by the server and the corresponding Caused by inconsistencies in attribute information

[0004] In practical applications, if the API and attribute information are updated, the server will generally notify the client to perform the corresponding update. However, the process of updating based on the client in the prior art involves the download and installation of the data installation package, which will take up The processing resources of the terminal make the data processing efficiency of the terminal lower. Especially for mobile terminals, there are many reasons such as the size of the memory is limited by the hardware configuration, and the terminal itself has limited ability to run the client. Therefore, the terminal receives the data from the server. After updating the prompt of the client, the update of the client may be refused, which will cause the operation of the client to send the API service information request to the server to fail

After the client fails to communicate with the server based on the API supported by the current version and the corresponding attribute information, the client chooses to download the latest version of the data installation package corresponding to the API supported by the client and the attribute information. During the installation of the data installation package, it needs to stop The running client even needs to stop running other related clients, which leads to the fact that the client installed on the terminal cannot run normally during the process of downloading and installing the data installation package, and thus cannot send API service information to the server. ask

[0005] To sum up, in the prior art, when the client updates the API and the corresponding attribute information, the real-time performance is poor, and it needs to occupy more processing resources.
