API Architecture

Understanding the fundamentals of Adesic’s API design and implementation.

Learn more about the unique characteristics and core concepts behind our API. These guides cover everything you need to know for successful integration.

Core Concepts

• API Keys & Authentication - How to authenticate your requests and manage API credentials securely.

• API Server URL - Server infrastructure and base URLs. Includes production and sandbox environments.

• Error Codes - Standardized error response format and handling strategies. Essential for robust error handling.

• Rate Limits - Request quotas, throttling policies, and optimization best practices.

Before You Start

Make sure you understand these fundamentals before diving into our APIs:

1. Authentication - All requests require valid API keys
2. HTTPS Only - We only accept secure connections
3. JSON Format - All requests and responses use JSON
4. Rate Limiting - Requests are subject to rate limits based on your plan

Best Practices

• Store API keys securely and never expose them in client-side code
• Implement proper error handling for all API responses
• Respect rate limits to ensure optimal performance
• Use appropriate HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
• Include proper headers for content type and authentication
