Understanding integration limitations
While Ycode offers robust integration capabilities through APIs, webhooks, external databases, and embedded content, it's essential to understand certain limitations to ensure the smooth and effective use of these powerful features.
Common Integration Limitations
Some common integration limitations to note:
API Rate Limits and Quotas
External APIs connected to Ycode may impose limits on the number of requests per minute or day.
Exceeding these limits can result in failed API calls or delayed responses.
Monitor usage and optimize calls to stay within quotas.
Learn more about APIs in Using APIs.
Webhook Delivery Constraints
Webhooks rely on successful HTTP POST requests to external URLs.
Network issues or endpoint downtime can lead to webhook failures.
Ycode attempts limited retries but persistent failures require manual intervention.
Read about setup and best practices in Setting Up Webhooks.
Data Sync and Latency
Integrations with external databases or services may introduce data latency.
Real-time synchronization depends on connection stability and API design.
Consider caching or scheduled syncs where immediate consistency is not required.
Explore connecting databases in Connecting to External Databases.
Security and Privacy
Integration often requires sharing sensitive credentials like API keys and tokens.
Secure storage and environment variables are recommended.
Follow privacy best practices described in Understanding Privacy Settings.
Supported Embed Content Types
Embedded content must be supported by external providers and comply with embedding policies.
Large or complex embed codes may affect page load performance.
Refer to guidelines in Embedding External Content.
Limitations in Integration Management
Some integrations might have limited configuration options within Ycode.
Advanced customization may require custom code or middleware.
Learn to manage external connections effectively in Managing Integration Settings.
Troubleshooting Integration Issues
Verify API keys and authentication details if calls fail.
Check endpoint availability when webhooks don’t trigger.
Use logging and error messages to identify issues.
Consult the troubleshooting guide at Troubleshooting Integration Issues.
