    Abstract: Embodiments provide approaches to selectively integrate with various providers based on reliability factors, user preferences, and/or other criteria. For example, a user in a location where an on-demand provider is available may attempt to utilize services provided by the on-demand provider in a different location where the on-demand provider has limited or no services available, but where one or more other on-demand providers may be available. The user may attempt to access services provided by the on-demand provider using an application provided by the on-demand provider. However, in the situation where the user is in the location where services provided by the on-demand provider are not available, the user would have to secure other means of accessing those services. In such a situation the user may be able to utilize the application to request services with at least one partner on-demand provider. This can include, for example, enabling the user to use the application to access such services, and thus maintain a familiar front-end user experience, while on the backend a flexible application program interface (API) framework is utilized to enable requests to partner on-demand providers who can satisfy requests on behalf of the on-demand provider.
