Makini is a unified API platform for industrial systems integration. We provide connectivity to over 2,000 ERP, CMMS, and WMS systems through a single, standardized API. Instead of building separate integrations for each system, you connect once to Makini and gain access to all supported platforms. This approach transforms integration projects that typically cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months into a manageable operational expense with deployment times of 1-2 weeks.
Connecting to any system through Makini is straightforward. You select the product you want to connect to, log in with your credentials, and receive an API token. The process takes just a few clicks and works consistently across all 2,000+ supported systems. For most systems (85-90% of cases), you only need the instance URL, username, and password. Some systems may require additional steps like API token generation, and we provide detailed authentication guides for these cases. The connection experience is designed to be simple enough that non-technical users can complete it without IT support.
Webhooks allow Makini to notify your application of events in real-time. To set up webhooks, configure a webhook URL in your connection settings or during the initial connection flow. Your webhook endpoint must accept POST requests, respond within 10 seconds with a 200 status code, and use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Makini will send webhook payloads to your endpoint when configured events occur, such as sync completion, connection status changes, or errors requiring attention. We recommend keeping your webhook receiver lightweight—ideally just writing the payload to a queue for asynchronous processing—to avoid timeouts and ensure reliable delivery.
The `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` error indicates you've exceeded the API rate limit for the connection or account. Rate limits are typically set per connection and per time window (usually per minute). When you hit a rate limit, the response includes a `Retry-After` header indicating when you can retry the request. Implement exponential backoff in your retry logic to avoid immediately hitting the limit again. If you consistently hit rate limits, review your API usage patterns—you may be making unnecessary requests, polling too frequently, or could benefit from webhook-based synchronization. For legitimate high-volume needs, contact us to discuss increasing your rate limits.
