I Need Advice for Integrating External APIs with Instant

Postby komyash » 25 September 2024, 6:32

Hello there,

I have been working on a project using Instant Developer Cloud; and I am looking to integrate some external APIs (specifically RESTful services) into my application. While I have gone through the documentation on API integration; I still have a few questions and would love some guidance from the community.

What is the most effective way to handle errors and exceptions when working with external APIs? Should I be relying on try-catch blocks within the code or is there a more streamlined approach in Instant Developer Cloud?

How do you typically handle rate-limiting when working with APIs that have usage limits? Are there any built in tools in Instant Developer Cloud that assist with managing or throttling requests; or should I be building a custom solution for this?

For APIs that require OAuth 2.0 authentication; are there any libraries or built-in modules in Instant Developer Cloud that make this process smoother? I am trying to avoid building this from scratch if possible.

When receiving JSON data from APIs; what is the most efficient way to map it to objects in Instant Developer Cloud? Any tips for keeping the code clean and easy to maintain?

Also, I have gone through this post; https://forum.instantdeveloper.com/viewtopic.php?uipath=7&t=90762 which definitely helped me out a lot.

I am fairly new to Instant Developer Cloud and want to make sure I am adhering to best practices, especially when it comes to performance and scalability.

Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.
