#Implementation Patterns

#RESTful API Integration

The Products V2 API follows RESTful principles for easy integration:

// Standard read operations
const products = await getProducts(filters);
const product = await getProductById(productId);

#Error Handling Patterns

Implement robust error handling for production applications:

const handleApiError = (error) => {
  switch (error.status) {
    case 404:
      return 'Product not found';
    case 403:
      return 'Insufficient permissions';
    case 400:
      return 'Invalid request data';
    default:
      return 'An unexpected error occurred';
  }
};

#Caching Strategies

Implement effective caching for improved performance:

const cache = new Map();
const CACHE_DURATION = 3600000; // 1 hour

const getCachedProduct = (productId) => {
  const cached = cache.get(productId);
  if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < CACHE_DURATION) {
    return cached.data;
  }
  return null;
};

#Best Practices

#API Usage

• Authentication: Always use secure API key storage
• Rate Limiting: Implement proper rate limiting
• Error Handling: Handle all error scenarios gracefully
• Caching: Use appropriate caching strategies

#Data Management

• Validation: Validate request parameters before API calls
• Consistency: Ensure consistent data access patterns
• Caching: Implement effective caching strategies
• Monitoring: Monitor API usage and performance

#Security

• API Key Security: Store API keys securely
• HTTPS: Always use HTTPS for API calls
• Permissions: Implement proper access control
