What problems do API connections usually solve<\/h2><p>Websites can read products, submit customer leads, synchronize orders, query logistics, or trigger business processes through the interface to reduce duplicate entries.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>2. First determine the person in charge of the data in the system<\/h2><p>The product, inventory, customer and order must be clear which system shall prevail.Otherwise, the two systems cover each other, which will produce conflicts that cannot be judged.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>3. The difference between active query and Webhook<\/h2><p>Active query is suitable for timing synchronization, and Webhook is suitable for immediate notification after an event occurs.Actual projects are often used in combination, and compensation queries are set up.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>4. Authentication and key management<\/h2><p>Common methods include API Key, OAuth, and signature request.The key must be stored on the server side and the source, permission, and validity period must be restricted.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>5. Failed retry and idempotent processing<\/h2><p>The network timeout does not mean that the other party has not processed it.The interface requires a unique business number, number of retries, error queue, and manual processing entry.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>6. Logs and monitoring must be able to locate the problem<\/h2><p>At least record the request time, business number, result status and error information, but passwords, complete bank cards, or sensitive personal data should not be exposed in the logs.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>7. The interface boundary should be written into the delivery scope<\/h2><p>Third-party interface changes, call costs, current limits, test accounts, and maintenance responsibilities should be stated before production.<\/p><\/section><div class=\"yxa-points\"><div class=\"yxa-point\"><b>STEP 1<\/b><strong>Confirm data sources and fields<\/strong><span>Confirm the scope, person in charge and acceptance method before entering the next step.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"yxa-point\"><b>STEP 2<\/b><strong>Design authentication and synchronization methods<\/strong><span>Confirm the scope, person in charge and acceptance method before entering the next step.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"yxa-point\"><b>STEP 3<\/b><strong>Handle retries, duplicates, and logs<\/strong><span>Confirm the scope, person in charge and acceptance method before entering the next step.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"yxa-point\"><b>STEP 4<\/b><strong>Online monitoring and retention of manual entry<\/strong><span>Confirm the scope, person in charge and acceptance method before entering the next step.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><section class=\"yxa-roadmap\"><h2>Recommended Implementation Plan<\/h2><p>A project does not need every feature on day one.
