Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of software development, and in particular to a method for rapid integration and management of an API interface based on an offline privatization environment. Background Art

[0002] As the scale of software systems continues to expand and the number of internal services in enterprises increases, API interfaces have become an important way to exchange data and call functions between systems. In order to improve development efficiency, enterprises usually build open platforms and provide various API interfaces for internal system calls. However, when developers integrate and use these APIs, they often face the following problems:

[0003] Duplicate development: Developers need to write a lot of duplicate code for different API interfaces, such as network requests, parameter processing, error handling, etc.

[0004] Integration difficulties: Different API interfaces may use different authentication methods, data formats, and error handling mechanisms, which increases the difficulty of integration.

[0005] High maintenance cost: When the API interface changes, developers need to manually update the code, which results in high maintenance costs.

[0006] To solve the above problems, some API integration solutions have emerged in the industry, such as:

[0007] Existing solutions

[0008] 1. API Gateway: For example, Kong, Tyk, Apigee, etc. API Gateway can serve as a unified entrance for all APIs, providing routing, authentication, current limiting, monitoring and other functions. However, API Gateway is usually deployed at the network boundary and is not suitable for the internal network environment of an enterprise.

[0009] 2. API Management Platform: For example, Postman, Swagger, RAP, etc. API management platforms can help developers design, document, test and monitor APIs. However, these platforms usually focus on API lifecycle management and lack the functions of automatically generating SDKs and simplifying the integration process.

[0010] 3. Code Generation Tool: For example, Swagger Codegen, OpenAPIGenerator, etc. These tools can automatically generate SDKs in different languages ​​based on API definition files. However, developers still need to manually integrate and maintain SDKs, and they cannot solve problems caused by API interface changes.

[0011] Disadvantages of existing technology

[0012] Although the above existing technologies have solved the problems of API integration and management to a certain extent, they still have the following shortcomings:

[0013] 1. Lack of solutions for internal enterprise network environments: Existing API gateways and management platforms are usually deployed at the network boundary and are not suitable for internal enterprise network environments, posing the risk of data leakage.

[0014] 2. Unable to fully automate the API integration process: Existing code generation tools can only generate SDKs. Developers still need to manually integrate and maintain SDKs, and cannot fully automate API integration.

[0015] 3. Lack of a quick response mechanism to API changes: When the API interface changes, developers need to manually update the code, which is inefficient and prone to errors.

[0016] Therefore, the prior art has defects and needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0017] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an API interface rapid integration and management system and method based on an offline privatization environment, so as to solve the shortcomings of existing API interface integration solutions in the internal network environment of an enterprise, such as data security risks, cumbersome integration process, and difficult updating and maintenance.

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an API interface rapid integration and management system based on an offline privatization environment is provided, comprising: a front-end module and a back-end module.

[0019] The front-end modules include: API information management page, API interface test page and SDK download page.

[0020] API information management page: used to fill in and manage the API's basic information, authentication method, request information, response information, etc.

[0021] API interface test page: used to provide API interface testing. Developers can verify the correctness of the API by simulating API requests.

[0022] SDK download page: provides SDK package download function, developers can download SDK packages of different development languages ​​as needed.

[0023] The backend modules include: API gateway, API information management service, SDK generation service, database and storage service.

[0024] API Gateway: As the entry point for all API requests, it is responsible for request routing, identity authentication, current limiting and other functions.

[0025] API information management service: responsible for adding, deleting, modifying and checking API information.

[0026] SDK generation service: responsible for generating SDK packages in different development languages ​​based on API information.

[0027] Database: used to store API information and user account information.

[0028] Storage service: used to store the generated SDK package;

[0029] The front-end module uses the Vue.js framework or the React framework.

[0030] The backend module uses the Spring Boot framework, Django framework, Flask framework, or FastAPI framework.

[0031] The database uses a relational database (such as PostgreSQL database, MySQL database).

[0032] The storage service uses object storage service (such as Amazon S3 storage service and MinIO storage service).

[0033] API gateway chooses open source API gateways such as Kong and Tyk, and on its basis, adds functions such as API information management service and SDK generation service.

[0034] The present invention also provides a method for rapid integration and management of API interfaces based on an offline privatization environment, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1: API provider enters API information: API provider logs in to the aforementioned API interface rapid integration and management system based on offline privatization environment, fills in API information on the API information management page, including API name, interface address, request method, request parameters, response parameters, etc., and submits to save and upload the API; API information and API are stored in the database for persistence of API information;

[0036] S2: Administrator reviews API information: The administrator reviews API information to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the API information, and publishes the API uploaded by the API provider after the review is passed; in step S2, if the review fails, the API interface rapid integration and management system based on the offline privatization environment returns an error message to the API provider.

[0037] S3: Developers test API interfaces: Developers select the API to be tested on the API interface test page, enter the test parameters, and trigger a test request (such as clicking a test button). The API interface rapid integration and management system based on the offline privatization environment sends the test request to the target API, and displays the test results returned by the target API on the API interface test page; if the test is successful, proceed to step S4; if the test is unsuccessful, the API interface rapid integration and management system based on the offline privatization environment returns an error message to the developer.

[0038] S4: Generate SDK: The developer selects the API to be integrated, selects the target development language, and triggers a request to generate an SDK (such as clicking a Generate SDK button). The SDK generation service of the management system automatically generates an SDK package based on the rapid integration of the API interface in the offline privatization environment and provides a download address; the generated SDK package is uploaded to the storage service;

[0039] S5: Developers download and integrate SDK: Developers download the SDK package and integrate it into their projects, and then use the interface provided by the SDK package to call the API.

[0040] The API provider and the developer may or may not be the same person.

[0041] In step S4, the generated SDK package is uploaded to the storage service; in step S5, the SDK package is downloaded from the storage service.

[0042] The present invention overcomes the following defects in the prior art:

[0043] (1) Existing API gateways and management platforms are mostly deployed at the network boundary. When used in the internal network environment of an enterprise, there is a risk of data leakage and a lack of targeted solutions.

[0044] (2) Existing code generation tools can only generate SDKs, and developers still need to manually integrate and maintain them. The API integration process cannot be fully automated, and the improvement in development efficiency is limited.

[0045] (3) Existing solutions lack a quick response mechanism to API changes. Developers need to manually update the code, which is inefficient and error-prone, increasing maintenance costs.

[0046] Therefore, the present invention achieves the following objectives:

[0047] Ensure data security: The solution is deployed on the enterprise's internal network, and data does not flow to the external network, effectively reducing the risk of data leakage.

[0048] Simplify the integration process: Provide one-click SDK generation and automatic update mechanism to automate the API integration process and greatly improve development efficiency.

[0049] Reduce maintenance costs: After the API is changed, developers only need to update information and regenerate the SDK to quickly complete code updates, simplify maintenance work, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0050] The present invention is applicable to the internal network environment of an enterprise: the solution can be deployed in the internal network of an enterprise to ensure that data does not circulate in the external network environment, thereby reducing the risk of data leakage.

[0051] The present invention realizes the automation of API integration process: by providing the functions of one-click SDK generation and automatic SDK update, the API integration process is simplified to the greatest extent and the development efficiency is improved.

[0052] The present invention quickly responds to API changes: when the API interface changes, the developer only needs to update the API information and regenerate the SDK to quickly complete the code update and reduce maintenance costs.

[0053] By adopting the above scheme, the present invention provides an API interface rapid integration and management system and method based on an offline privatization environment; it has the following technical effects:

[0054] 1. Higher Data Security

[0055] Offline private deployment: The system is deployed on the enterprise's internal network. All data is stored on the enterprise's internal servers and does not circulate on the external network. This fundamentally eliminates the risk of data leakage and effectively protects the security of the enterprise's core data assets.

[0056] Controllable access rights: The system can be integrated with the enterprise's internal identity authentication system to achieve fine-grained permission control, ensuring that only authorized users can access and use API information and SDK.

[0057] 2. Simplified integration process

[0058] Generate SDK with one click: Developers do not need to write repetitive code. They only need to select the target development language to generate the corresponding SDK package with one click, which greatly reduces the threshold and workload of API integration.

[0059] Automatic SDK update: When the API information changes, developers only need to update the API information form and regenerate the SDK package without manually modifying the code, which greatly simplifies the SDK update process.

[0060] Reduce code coupling: The SDK package encapsulates all the details of the API call. Developers only need to call the interface provided by the SDK without worrying about the underlying implementation, which reduces code coupling and improves code readability and maintainability.

[0061] 3. Higher development efficiency

[0062] Reduce repetitive work: Developers do not need to write repeated API call code and can devote more time and energy to business logic development, improving development efficiency.

[0063] Shorten the development cycle: The automatic generation and update functions of the SDK can help developers quickly complete API integration and shorten the project development cycle.

[0064] Improve code quality: The SDK package has been rigorously tested to ensure the correctness and stability of API calls and improve code quality.

[0065] 4. Lower maintenance costs

[0066] Simplify maintenance work: The SDK's automatic update function can help developers quickly update API call codes without manually modifying the code, reducing maintenance workload.

[0067] Improve code maintainability: The SDK package encapsulates all the details of the API call, reduces code coupling, and improves code readability and maintainability.

[0068] The solution of the present invention can improve API integration efficiency by more than 50% and reduce maintenance costs by more than 30%.

[0069] To sum up, the API interface rapid integration and management system and method based on an offline privatization environment provided by the present invention has the advantages of data security, ease of use, flexibility and efficiency, etc. It can effectively solve the problems of API integration and management within the enterprise, improve development efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and has broad application prospects.
