Best Practices

Industry-leading guidelines for working with Улена's API and services.

🧭 Get Started

Core Best Practices

🔐 Authentication

  • Use OAuth2 instead of legacy BASIC auth methods
  • Rotate API keys monthly for security
  • Enable 2-factor authentication for production accounts

🔁 Idempotency

  • Use unique request IDs for retry safety
  • Set proper retry delays (exponentially increasing)
  • Ensure idempotency headers for safe retries

Security Best Practices

🛡️ Data Protection

Always use HTTPS for all API traffic. Encrypt sensitive payloads at rest and in transit.

🕵️ Access Control

Follow the principle of least privilege. Use granular permissions when granting access.

🔒 Threat Detection

Monitor API traffic patterns for anomalies. Set rate limits to prevent DDoS attacks.

Performance Optimization

🚀 Caching

Use the built-in caching layer for frequently accessed resources. 

{ "X-Response-Cache": "60s" }

📈 Bulk Operations

Use bulk operations where possible to reduce network overhead and improve throughput. 


// Use batch processing
POST /v1/batch
{
  "requests": [...]
}

Development Best Practices

Code Guidelines

Follow these patterns when implementing Улена integrations:

Use async/await
