What Is API Integration and Why Does It Matter?
API integration enables different software systems to exchange data with each other. Your e-commerce site connecting to your ERP, your accounting software synchronising with your bank, your CRM feeding your email platform — all of these are API integrations.
REST, GraphQL or Webhook?
REST API: standard, broadly supported, ideal for CRUD operations. GraphQL: flexible data querying, single endpoint, advantageous for mobile apps that need tailored data shapes. Webhook: the right choice for real-time event notifications such as payment confirmation or order status changes.
Integration Design Essentials
- Error handling and retry mechanisms
- Rate limiting and throttling
- Security: API keys, OAuth 2.0, JWT
- Versioning strategy
- Logging and monitoring
