Introduction to API Development 🚀
Our API is designed to be intuitive and powerful, enabling seamless integration with third-party services. To begin, please refer to the Getting Started guide for installation instructions and basic usage examples.
Key Concepts 🔍
- RESTful Design: Our APIs follow REST principles for consistency.
- Endpoints: Each API function is accessible via a specific endpoint.
- Status Codes: Always check HTTP status codes for response clarity.
Getting Started 🧰
- Install SDK: Use the SDK Installation Guide to set up the development environment.
- Create an Account: Sign up on our platform to access API keys.
- Explore Examples: Check out our Sample Code Repository for practical implementations.
Authentication & Authorization 🧑💻
To secure your API calls, use the following methods:
- API Key: Include it in the request headers as
Authorization: Bearer <your_key>. - OAuth 2.0: For third-party integrations, follow the OAuth Integration Guide.
Rate Limiting ⏱️
Our platform enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage. Here's how you can manage them:
- Default Limits: 100 requests per minute for most endpoints.
- Burst Limits: 200 requests allowed in a 5-minute window.
- Monitoring Tools: Use the Rate Limit Dashboard to track usage.
Debugging Tools 🧪
Debugging is easier with our built-in tools:
- Logs: Access detailed logs via the Debugging Logs section.
- Test Console: Try out API calls in the Test Console without writing code.
- Error Codes: Refer to the Error Code Reference for quick solutions.
