To aid implementation of the CITS APIs, we have produced a document capturing key areas of consideration for managing a CLIEDIS API project. During the initial implementation of APIs by the CLIEDIS membership, a lot was learned. We have captured those lessons so that others can benefit from them.  These best practices capture architectural and security considerations, consumer behavior, project planning, testing, communications, and production support.  They also detail a thought-out process for onboarding consumers to provide consistency across providers.

The CITS API Implementation Best Practices document is available in the CLIEDIS Resource Center in the Technical Documents / APIs folder. It is available for member review for feedback and suggestions. Please submit any recommendations to support@cliedis.ca
