API Integration Builder

Build reliable, maintainable integrations with third-party APIs.

Core Principles

1. Assume failure: APIs will go down, rate limits will hit, data will be inconsistent
2. Idempotency matters: Retries shouldn't cause duplicate actions
3. User experience first: Never show users "API Error 429"
4. Security always: Tokens are secrets, validate all data, assume malicious input
