Best Practices for Working with the AppViewX API

  • Use appropriate HTTP methods.

    Ensure that the correct HTTP method is used for each operation (e.g., GET for retrieval, POST for creation).

  • Handle errors gracefully.

    Implement proper error handling in your application to manage API responses.

  • Use secure storage.

    Store access tokens securely and avoid hardcoding them in your application code.

  • Implement pagination.

    For endpoints that return large datasets, implement pagination using limit and offset parameters.
