Use a catalog integration to inspect REST's six constraints, distinguish resource state from conversation state, and test all four parts of the uniform interface.
Design APIs that collectors can consume reliably. Define pagination, retries, validators, authentication, schema evolution, and recovery as explicit contracts.
Choose an integration by its actual contract, security profile, tooling, and recovery behavior. Separate REST architecture from SOAP messaging and challenge common myths.
Follow a fictional catalog request from documentation to a validated record. Understand endpoints, response fields, authentication, pagination, and failures before scaling.
Build an API extraction workflow that validates records, follows continuation tokens, and reports incomplete runs. Practice with a local fixture before using a live service.
