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.
Makini maintains a comprehensive data model built from analyzing thousands of industrial systems. When data flows through Makini, we automatically transform it from the source system's format into our standardized structure. For example, purchase orders from SAP, NetSuite, and Dynamics all return with consistent field names, data types, and structures. This normalization happens in real-time as data passes through the API. You also have access to raw data if needed for specific use cases. The unified model covers common entities like purchase orders, work orders, inventory items, vendors, and assets, with extensive field coverage across systems.
All Makini webhooks include a signature header for verification. The signature is an HMAC hash of the webhook payload using your webhook secret as the key. To verify a webhook, compute the HMAC using your secret and compare it to the signature header using constant-time comparison to avoid timing attacks. Never process webhook data without verification, as this could expose your system to forged requests. Your webhook secret is provided when you configure webhooks and should be stored securely. Webhook verification ensures that only legitimate requests from Makini are processed by your application.
Yes, customers can connect as many systems as needed. Each connection is independent with its own API token, allowing you to manage multiple ERP systems, CMMS platforms, or other integrations for a single customer. This is common in organizations with multiple subsidiaries, regional systems, or during migration periods when legacy and new systems run in parallel. Each connection consumes connection credits based on the system type and deployment model. There's no technical limit on the number of connections per customer. For customers using multiple instances of the same system (like regional SAP instances), each instance requires a separate connection with its own credentials and token.
