Abstract

A data retrieval system can include a computing device that is configured to, in response to receiving a uniform resource locator from a user device, parse the uniform resource locator to identify a dynamic path variable. The computing device can be configured to generate a set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator. The computing device can also be configured to execute the set of execution steps to retrieve a set of data, the set of execution steps being executed based on the dynamic path variable in response to the dynamic path variable being identified. The computing device can further be configured to transform a user interface of the user device based on the set of data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system comprising:
a computing device configured to, in response to receiving a uniform resource locator from a user device:
parse the uniform resource locator to identify a dynamic path variable;
generate a set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator;
execute the set of execution steps to retrieve a set of data, the set of execution steps being executed based on the dynamic path variable in response to the dynamic path variable being identified; and
transform a user interface of the user device based on the set of data.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator includes:
retrieving a set of instructions from an instructions database; identifying a set of models included in the set of instructions; and generating the set of execution steps based on the set of instructions and the set of models.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the computing device is configured to, in response to a first model of the set of models being independent of a second model of the set of models, generate the set of execution steps corresponding to the first model and the second model in parallel.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the set of instructions includes input from the user device indicating: at least one database, the dynamic path variable, a query string variable, a header value variable, or a request payload variable.

5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein:
the set of instructions indicate data to retrieve from at least one database, and the set of models indicate a location of the data to retrieve.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of execution steps are generated based on a set of instructions and a set of models selected via the user device.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to store the set of data for a threshold period.

8 . A method comprising:
in response to receiving a uniform resource locator from a user device, parsing the uniform resource locator to identify a dynamic path variable; generating a set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator; executing the set of execution steps to retrieve a set of data, the set of execution steps being executed based on the dynamic path variable in response to the dynamic path variable being identified; and transforming a user interface of the user device based on the set of data.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator includes:
retrieving a set of instructions from an instructions database; identifying a set of models included in the set of instructions; and generating the set of execution steps based on the set of instructions and the set of models.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising, in response to a first model of the set of models being independent of a second model of the set of models, generating the set of execution steps corresponding to the first model and the second model in parallel.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the set of instructions includes input from the user device indicating: at least one database, the dynamic path variable, a query string variable, a header value variable, or a request payload variable.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the set of instructions indicate data to retrieve from at least one database, and the set of models indicate a location of the data to retrieve.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the set of execution steps are generated based on a set of instructions and a set of models selected via the user device.

14 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising storing the set of data for a threshold period.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause a device to perform operations comprising, in response to receiving a uniform resource locator from a user device:
parsing the uniform resource locator to identify a dynamic path variable; generating a set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator; executing the set of execution steps to retrieve a set of data, the set of execution steps being executed based on the dynamic path variable in response to the dynamic path variable being identified; and transforming a user interface of the user device based on the set of data.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein generating the set of execution steps based on the received uniform resource locator includes:
retrieving a set of instructions from an instructions database; identifying a set of models included in the set of instructions; and generating the set of execution steps based on the set of instructions and the set of models.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions include, in response to a first model of the set of models being independent of a second model of the set of models, generating the set of execution steps corresponding to the first model and the second model in parallel.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the set of instructions includes input from the user device indicating: at least one database, the dynamic path variable, a query string variable, a header value variable, or a request payload variable.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein:
the set of instructions indicate data to retrieve from at least one database, and the set of models indicate a location of the data to retrieve.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the set of execution steps are generated based on a set of instructions and a set of models selected via the user device.
