# Additional Technical Considerations

### Idempotency & Duplicate Prevention

**Idempotency Key Implementation**

```http theme={null}
POST /api/v1/bookings
Idempotency-Key: req_abc123xyz
```

First request response:

```http theme={null}
201 Created
{booking details}
```

Duplicate request with same key:

```http theme={null}
200 OK
{same booking details}
```

Requirements:

* Valid for at least 24 hours
* Unique per request (UUID v4 recommended)
* Server returns same response for duplicate keys
* 409 Conflict allowed if key reused with different payload

### Batch Operations

**Bulk Availability Check**

```http theme={null}
POST /api/v1/availability/batch
```

Payload:

```json theme={null}
{
  "queries": [
    {
      "query_id": "q1",
      "service_type": "inspection",
      "start_time": "2025-11-01T09:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "query_id": "q2",
      "service_type": "inspection",
      "start_time": "2025-11-01T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

Response:

```json theme={null}
{
  "results": [
    {
      "query_id": "q1",
      "available": true,
      "slots": []
    },
    {
      "query_id": "q2",
      "available": false,
      "reason": "provider_unavailable"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Internationalization

**Multi-language Support** – If serving international customers:

* Support `Accept-Language` header
* Localize error messages
* Respect locale-specific date/time formats
* Handle multi-currency pricing

Example:

```http theme={null}
GET /api/v1/availability
Accept-Language: es-MX
```

Response includes localized service names and descriptions.

### Testing Checklist

Before production deployment we will validate:

* [ ] All API endpoints functional and documented
* [ ] Authentication working (OAuth, API keys, etc.)
* [ ] Webhooks delivering successfully with retries
* [ ] Error responses follow documented format
* [ ] Rate limiting working as specified
* [ ] Idempotency keys preventing duplicates
* [ ] Timeout handling is graceful
* [ ] SSL/TLS certificates valid
* [ ] CORS policies correct (if applicable)
* [ ] Health check endpoints responding
* [ ] Monitoring and alerting configured
* [ ] Sandbox and production environments separated
* [ ] Load testing passed at expected volume
* [ ] Security scan passed (OWASP, penetration test)
* [ ] Disaster recovery tested
* [ ] Runbook documented for common issues

## Summary

This addendum provides Avoca's comprehensive technical requirements and capabilities for API integration.

**Highlights**

* **Architecture:** Real-time API-first approach with intelligent caching, Azure region agnostic with latency optimization
* **Security:** OAuth 2.0 preferred, SOC 2 Type II in progress, strong encryption and compliance support
* **APIs:** RESTful JSON design, webhook support strongly preferred, detailed schemas provided
* **Reliability:** 99.9% uptime expectation, 200–500 ms response targets, robust error handling and retry logic
* **Support:** Tiered escalation structure, 90-day deprecation notice, comprehensive monitoring and metrics
* **Timeline:** 9–12 week integration with phased testing and deployment

**Next Steps**

1. Review and confirm API specification alignment
2. Establish sandbox access and credentials
3. Schedule kickoff meeting and regular sync cadence
4. Begin Phase 1 discovery activities

Please reach out if any technical requirements need clarification or if alternative implementation approaches should be discussed.
