Integration Best Practices

Security Recommendations

Store API credentials securely and never expose them in client-side code

Implement proper error handling to avoid exposing sensitive information

Use HTTPS for all API communications to ensure data encryption in transit

Rotate JWT tokens periodically and implement token expiration policies

Implement IP whitelisting for production environments if supported

User Experience Guidelines

Cache company information when appropriate to reduce API calls and improve response times

Implement progressive loading for displaying large company data responses

Format financial figures (capital amounts) with appropriate currency symbols and separators

Display dates in a user-friendly format while maintaining ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) in requests

Provide clear error messages to end-users when company information cannot be retrieved
