Best Practices
This document outlines key recommendations to use the Substance 3D API efficiently and effectively.
Authentication best practices
- Use OAuth 2.0 for authentication for secure access to API resources.
- Store client credentials securely and never expose them in client-side code.
API request guidelines
- Use HTTPS for all API requests to guarantee data privacy and security.
- Follow the correct endpoint usage and parameter formatting in the API reference documentation.
- To handle rate limiting, implement exponential backoff and retry mechanisms.
Security considerations
- Validate user input to prevent injection attacks and ensure data integrity.
- Regularly update API client libraries and dependencies to patch security vulnerabilities.
Testing strategies
- Use sandbox or test environments for development and testing to avoid impacting production data.
- Write comprehensive unit tests for API integrations to guarantee reliability and functionality.
Monitoring and logging practices
- Implement logging to track API usage, errors, and performance metrics.
- Monitor API usage and performance to identify and address issues proactively.
