Procedure
Step-by-step
-
01
Choose the interface
Use the REST API for direct operations, outbound webhooks for event notification and hooks for in-application extensions.
-
02
Create the minimum scope
Issue a token with only the abilities required by the consuming application.
-
03
Configure delivery
For webhooks, use HTTPS, select only required events and store the signing secret securely.
-
04
Verify signatures and replay safety
Validate each webhook signature and deduplicate events before processing.
-
05
Monitor activity
Review delivery history, response codes and API logs; rotate credentials on a schedule.

Checklist
Best practices
- Never place a token in client-side code.
- Return a fast 2xx response and process slow webhook work asynchronously.
