CLIEDIS’ CITS API Design Principles Available for Member Review

The CLIEDIS API Architecture Group has been hard at work refreshing the CLIEDIS CITS API Design Principles to reflect current technology requirements and lessons learned from other API work. After a series of meetings and document updates, the 2023 CITS API Design Principles document is now available for member review.

These principles address the technology, security requirements, data structures, and usage patterns needed for all the CITS APIs described in the Service Catalog.  

By using these standard principles, we can ensure a common repeatable approach is applied across all CITS APIs. This will make external facing APIs for distributors much easier, faster, and cheaper to implement.  

You can find this document in the CLIEDIS Resource Center in the Technical Resources / APIs folder. You must be a CLIEDIS member to access it.
