Makini's unified API acts as a common denominator across all connected systems. We map each system's data structure to a standardized data model, exposing consistent endpoints regardless of the underlying platform. This means you write the same code to retrieve purchase orders from SAP, NetSuite, or Dynamics—the API calls and response formats are identical. You always get data in the same structure, making it easy to build consistent business logic. The unified approach eliminates the need to learn each system's unique API, manage multiple authentication methods, or handle varying data formats.
For bulk operations, we recommend batch processing with appropriate rate limiting and error handling. Makini Flows provides built-in batch processing capabilities with configurable batch sizes, delays between batches, and error handling. For API-based bulk operations, implement pagination when retrieving large datasets—our API returns results in pages with continuation tokens for fetching subsequent pages. When writing large volumes of data, break operations into smaller batches (typically 50-100 records per batch) with delays between batches to avoid overwhelming the target system. Implement comprehensive error logging to identify which specific records fail in a batch. For very large operations (thousands of records), consider asynchronous processing patterns where you queue operations and process them in the background.
Makini monitors connection health continuously and provides multiple ways to detect reauthorization needs. The connection status endpoint returns the current state including whether reauthorization is required. Makini sends webhooks when connections enter a state requiring reauthorization, allowing proactive notification. API requests to a connection requiring reauthorization return specific error codes prompting reconnection. The Makini dashboard displays connection status across all customers. Best practice is to implement webhook listeners for connection status changes and proactively notify customers when reauthorization is needed, rather than waiting for operations to fail. Include clear instructions on how to reconnect in your notification.
No. For M2M setup, both "Authorization Flow" and "Authorization Code Grant" should be unchecked. Only "Client Credentials (Machine To Machine) Grant" should be checked, along with the required scopes (Restlets and REST Web Services).
