Have any questions? We’re here to help You
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.
Connection-specific errors often relate to system configuration, permissions, or connectivity issues. Common scenarios include: the system is offline or unreachable, credentials have expired, API rate limits on the source system, or permission changes in the source system. Use the connection status endpoint to check connection health before making API calls. Implement circuit breaker patterns—if a connection repeatedly fails, temporarily stop making requests to avoid cascading failures. Log connection-specific errors separately to identify problematic connections. When errors occur, check if the issue affects all operations or specific entity types, which helps narrow down permission or configuration issues. For on-premises systems, verify network connectivity and firewall rules. Contact support if connection errors persist, providing the connection ID and affected operations.
Testing should cover authentication, data retrieval, data writing, error handling, and workflow logic. Start by connecting a test system through Makini's authentication flow. Use sandbox or non-production instances of your target systems when available. Test API calls for each entity type you'll use (purchase orders, work orders, etc.) to verify data mapping and field coverage. Test error scenarios by providing invalid inputs or attempting operations without proper permissions. For workflow-based integrations, test each workflow step independently before testing end-to-end. Verify webhook delivery and signature verification. Test with realistic data volumes to identify performance issues. Include tests for connection failure scenarios and verify your error handling and retry logic work correctly.
Customers connect systems through Makini's authentication module, which provides a simple, guided connection flow. The process typically takes 2-5 minutes: Select the system from our list of 2,000+ products. Enter connection details (usually just the instance URL and credentials). Authorize the connection. Makini validates credentials and establishes the connection. The connection flow is designed for non-technical users and can be embedded directly in your application, allowing customers to connect without leaving your product. For systems requiring additional setup (like API token generation), we provide step-by-step guidance within the connection flow. Customers see real-time feedback during connection, and if any issues occur, clear error messages guide them to resolution.
