API tokens must be stored securely and should never be exposed on the client side or in public repositories. Store tokens in secure environment variables or dedicated secrets management systems like AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault. Never hardcode tokens in application code or commit them to version control. Implement proper access controls so only authorized services can access stored tokens. For production environments, use separate tokens from development/testing environments. Rotate tokens periodically and immediately revoke tokens if you suspect they've been compromised. Makini tokens provide access to customer data, so treat them with the same security standards you'd apply to database credentials.
Write operation limitations vary by system. Common limitations include: field-level restrictions (some fields may be read-only), business rule validation (orders may require certain fields or valid vendor codes), permission requirements (the connected account needs specific permissions), timing restrictions (some systems prevent modifications after certain workflow states), and rate limits on write operations. Custom fields in target systems may not be writable through standard APIs. Some systems have transactional requirements—for example, purchase order line items must be created in the same transaction as the order header. During implementation, we identify write operation limitations for your specific use cases and design workflows that work within those constraints.
Makini uses cursor-based pagination for retrieving large datasets. API responses include a `next_cursor` field when additional results are available. To retrieve the next page, include the cursor value in your next request: `GET /api/v1/purchase-orders?cursor=CURSOR_VALUE`. Cursor-based pagination is more reliable than offset-based pagination because it handles data changes between requests—if records are added or deleted while you're paginating, you won't miss records or see duplicates. Page size is configurable up to a maximum limit (typically 100-500 records per page depending on entity type). For optimal performance, use the largest page size your application can handle efficiently. The API response also includes total count when available from the source system.
Disconnecting a connection can be done through the Makini dashboard or API. In the dashboard, navigate to the connection and select disconnect. Via API, call the disconnect endpoint with the connection ID. Disconnecting immediately invalidates the API token and stops all scheduled syncs and workflows for that connection. The connection credits used are returned to your pool and become available for new connections. Disconnecting does not delete historical data that was previously synced—that remains accessible until you choose to delete it. Customers can reconnect the same system at any time, which will create a new connection with a new API token. Use disconnection for customers who churn or when permanently retiring a connection.
