API Overview

Learn about the Wayvo API and how to use it to extend the functionality of your applications.

API Overview

The Wayvo API provides a powerful and flexible way to interact with your applications programmatically. This allows you to extend the functionality of your applications, integrate with other systems, and automate processes.

Getting Started with the Wayvo API

1. API Documentation

   • Access the Wayvo API documentation for detailed information on endpoints, request formats, and response structures.
   • The documentation provides examples and use cases to help you get started quickly.

2. API Authentication

   • The Wayvo API uses API keys and OAuth 2.0 for authentication.
   • Ensure that you securely store and manage your API keys and tokens.

Key API Concepts

1. Endpoints

   • The Wayvo API consists of various endpoints that correspond to different resources and actions within the platform.
   • Each endpoint is designed to perform specific operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting resources.

2. Request Methods

   • The Wayvo API supports standard HTTP request methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
   • Use the appropriate method for the action you want to perform (e.g., GET for retrieving data, POST for creating new resources).

3. Request and Response Formats

   • The API uses JSON for request and response formats.
   • Ensure that your requests include the correct headers (e.g., Content-Type: application/json) and payloads.

Common API Endpoints

1. Users API

   • GET /users: Retrieve a list of users.
   • GET /users/{id}: Retrieve details of a specific user.
   • POST /users: Create a new user.
   • PUT /users/{id}: Update an existing user.
   • DELETE /users/{id}: Delete a user.

2. Projects API

   • GET /projects: Retrieve a list of projects.
   • GET /projects/{id}: Retrieve details of a specific project.
   • POST /projects: Create a new project.
   • PUT /projects/{id}: Update an existing project.
   • DELETE /projects/{id}: Delete a project.

3. Tasks API

   • GET /tasks: Retrieve a list of tasks.
   • GET /tasks/{id}: Retrieve details of a specific task.
   • POST /tasks: Create a new task.
   • PUT /tasks/{id}: Update an existing task.
   • DELETE /tasks/{id}: Delete a task.

Example API Usage

1. Fetching Data

   Use the GET method to retrieve data from the Wayvo API. For example, to fetch a list of users:

   curl -X GET "https://api.wayvo.ai/v1/users" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
   

2. Creating a Resource

   Use the POST method to create a new resource. For example, to create a new project:

   curl -X POST "https://api.wayvo.ai/v1/projects" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
     "name": "New Project",
     "description": "Project description"
   }'
   

3. Updating a Resource

   Use the PUT method to update an existing resource. For example, to update a user’s information:

   curl -X PUT "https://api.wayvo.ai/v1/users/{id}" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
     "name": "Updated Name",
     "email": "updated.email@example.com"
   }'
   

4. Deleting a Resource

   Use the DELETE method to remove a resource. For example, to delete a task:

   curl -X DELETE "https://api.wayvo.ai/v1/tasks/{id}" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
   

Error Handling

1. HTTP Status Codes

   • The Wayvo API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of API requests.
   • Common status codes include 200 (OK), 201 (Created), 400 (Bad Request), 401 (Unauthorized), 404 (Not Found), and 500 (Internal Server Error).

2. Error Messages

   • In case of an error, the API response will include an error message with details about the issue.
   • Use these messages to debug and resolve problems with your API requests.

Best Practices for Using the Wayvo API

1. Secure Your API Keys

   • Store API keys securely and avoid hardcoding them in your source code.
   • Use environment variables or secure key management services.

2. Rate Limiting

   • Be mindful of API rate limits and design your application to handle rate limiting gracefully.
   • Implement retry logic and exponential backoff to manage rate limit errors.

3. Documentation

   • Regularly refer to the API documentation for updates and best practices.
   • Ensure that your usage of the API follows the recommended guidelines and patterns.
