Our processes
We don’t have a fixed methodology for development. It is important that we are flexible and work in a way that suits our clients. However, outlined below is an outline of how we might approach your integration project.
1. Select the right provider
We will research and help you choose a reputable provider that meets your business requirements. Not all provides or API are equal. We will work with you to consider factors such as features, pricing, support, and compatibility with your e platform.
2. Obtain API documentation
As part of the process of choosing a supplier we will investigate their API documentation. The documentation will outline the technical details, endpoints, data formats, and authentication methods required for integration. If it is not up to scratch, we will urge caution.
3. Build a proof of concept
We will review the API documentation thoroughly to understand the functionality and capabilities provided by the API. Paying particular attention to the available endpoints for inventory management, booking creation, availability checks, and other relevant operations. And then we will build a proof of concept.
4. Plan integration scope
We will determine the specific functionality you want to integrate into your portal. This could include displaying real-time availability, enabling online bookings, retrieving reservation details, and managing pricing and inventory updates.
5. Portal development
Our web development team are massively experienced in API integrations. They will be responsible for implementing the integration but there is more to the process than that, we will make sure that integration works within your existing investments in your portal.
6. API authentication
Most third-party systems require authentication to ensure secure access to their API. Security is absolutely central to our work. Web Portal Solutions will implement the authentication mechanism specified in the API documentation, such as API keys, OAuth tokens, or other authentication protocols.
7. Develop integration code
Whatever your preferred development platform, Web Portal Solutions will use the programming language and tools supported by your platform to write code that interacts with the API. This involves making API requests, handling responses, and parsing data returned by the API.
8. Test and debug
Quite simply the most important stage. We will thoroughly test the integration code to ensure proper functionality. We will conduct test bookings, availability checks, and other operations to verify that data flows accurately between your website and the third party system.
9. Handle errors and exceptions
Web Portal Solutions pride ourselves on implementing error handling mechanisms to gracefully handle any API errors or exceptions that may occur during integration. We will provide informative error messages to users and log relevant details for debugging purposes.
10. Monitor and maintain
Once the integration is live, we continuously monitor its performance and functionality and stay in touch with you and your provider for any updates or changes to their API, ensuring your integration always remains compatible.
