Claim 7:
8. A computing device executing an interceptor hub application for an interceptor interface for service-consuming applications, the computing device comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions for the at least one processor, wherein the instructions configure the at least one processor to perform operations of the interceptor hub application, the operations comprising:
receiving, via a network, a request for a plurality of services from a first service-consuming application executing on a second computing device, the plurality of services executing on at least one other computing device and being accessible via the first computing device through the network, the request being in a first format for the interceptor interface;
converting, by the interceptor hub application, at least some information in the received request for the plurality of services to corresponding formats of respective interfaces of at least some of the plurality of services;
sending a respective request to each of the requested plurality of services executing on a corresponding one of the at least one other computing device, the each respective request including a corresponding portion of the information in the corresponding format of the respective interface;
receiving, in response to the sending of the respective requests, a respective service response from the each of the plurality of respective services; and
providing each of the respective service responses in a combined service response to the first service-consuming application in a response format expected by the first service-consuming application.
