Developer APIs

Introduction to Developer APIs

Sadham Hussain provides a comprehensive set of APIs that enable developers to integrate our services into their applications. These APIs follow RESTful principles and support various programming languages, making it easy to build innovative solutions.

Getting Started with APIs

Authentication API

Secure authentication is fundamental to using our APIs. We support OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication methods to ensure secure access.

const authResponse = await fetch('/api/oauth/token', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
body: new URLSearchParams({
grant_type: 'client_credentials',
client_id: 'your_client_id',
client_secret: 'your_client_secret'
})
});
const token = await authResponse.json();

import requests
token_response = requests.post('/api/oauth/token', data={
'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
'client_id': 'your_client_id',
'client_secret': 'your_client_secret'
})
token = token_response.json()

const response = await fetch('/api/search', {
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` }
});
const data = await response.json();

import requests
response = requests.get('/api/search', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'})
data = response.json()

Search API

Our search API allows you to query vast amounts of data with precision. It supports full-text search, filtering, and sorting to deliver relevant results.

const searchParams = {
query: 'machine learning algorithms',
limit: 20,
sort: 'relevance',
filters: { language: 'en', year: 2023 }
};
const searchResponse = await fetch('/api/search', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` },
body: JSON.stringify(searchParams)
});
const results = await searchResponse.json();

import requests
search_params = {
  'query': 'machine learning algorithms',
  'limit': 20,
  'sort': 'relevance',
  'filters': {'language': 'en', 'year': 2023}
}
response = requests.post('/api/search', 
  json=search_params, 
  headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'})
results = response.json()

Storage API

Manage files and data in the cloud with our storage API. Upload, download, and organize content securely with granular access controls.

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', fileInput.files[0]);
const uploadResponse = await fetch('/api/storage/files', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` },
body: formData
});
const uploadResult = await uploadResponse.json();

import requests
with open('document.pdf', 'rb') as file:
upload_response = requests.post('/api/storage/files', 
  files={'file': file}, 
  headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'})
upload_result = upload_response.json()

Error Handling

Implement robust error handling to manage API failures gracefully. Our APIs return standard HTTP status codes and detailed error messages.

Best Practices

Follow these guidelines to build reliable and efficient applications using our APIs.

Webhooks Integration

Set up webhooks to receive real-time notifications about events in your applications. This enables reactive systems that respond immediately to changes.

app.post('/webhook/search-update', (req, res) => {
const { event, data } = req.body;
if (event === 'search_completed') {
  processSearchResults(data);
}
res.sendStatus(200);
});

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/webhook/search-update', methods=['POST'])
data = request.json
event = data.get('event')
if event == 'search_completed':
  process_search_results(data)
return '', 200

Migration Guide

If you're migrating from older API versions, follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition.
