1. A method for dynamically updating a synchronization rule at a node configured to communicate with other nodes in an Internet of Things (IoT) hierarchy, comprising:
receiving, at a first node, a request for either a first data set, or first integration, from a second node, wherein implementation of a first application programming interface (“API”) is based on either the first dataset or the first integration, and wherein answering the request requires forwarding the request to a third node;
determining, at the first node, that the synchronization rule should be updated based on the request and at least one synchronization criterium, wherein the determining comprises a determination that the request comprises information included in a previous request from the second node and that the synchronization rule should be updated to forward such information automatically to the first node without first receiving the request;
generating, at the first node, a synchronization rule update, wherein the synchronization rule update comprises a change to at least one synchronization behavior of the first node and of the third node; and
updating, at the first node and the third node, the synchronization rule based on the synchronization rule update.
