Needs assessment
Assess the integration requirements, identify the systems to be integrated, and determine the integration scope.
API selection
Choose the most suitable APIs based on their functionality, scalability, security, reliability, and ease of integration.
Data mapping
Map the data structures between the systems being integrated and transform data to align with the requirements of the receiving system.
Error handling
Develop robust error-handling mechanisms to handle exceptions and failures during API interactions.
Testing
Test the API integration to validate its functionality and performance, and ensure it delivers the expected outcomes.
Maintenance
Monitor and update the integration to accommodate changes in system requirements or API specifications.
