BRConnect API Integration Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the BRConnect API Integration Guide. This guide will help you integrate your application with BRConnect’s suite of APIs. BRConnect offers a range of APIs for managing user data, processing payments, and accessing product information.

Scenario

Company: BRShop

Objective: Integrate BRConnect’s Payment API to handle transactions seamlessly within the BRShop mobile app.

Step-by-Step Integration

Step 1: Obtain API Credentials

1. Sign up for a developer account on the BRConnect Developer Portal.

2. Navigate to the API section and create a new application.

3. Obtain your API key and secret, which will be used for authentication.

Step 2: Set Up Your Environment

1. Install the required SDK for your programming language (e.g., Node.js, Python).

2. Configure your environment with the API key and secret.

   ```javascript const brConnect = require('brconnect-sdk'); const client = new brConnect.Client({ apiKey: 'your_api_key', apiSecret: 'your_api_secret', }); ```

Step 3: Make a Test API Call

1. Test the connection by making a simple API call to retrieve user data.

   ```javascript client.users.get('user_id') .then(response => console.log(response)) .catch(error => console.error(error)); ```

Step 4: Integrate Payment Processing

1. Create a new payment transaction.

   ```javascript const paymentData = { amount: 1000, // Amount in cents currency: 'USD', paymentMethod: 'credit_card', userId: 'user_id', };

   client.payments.create(paymentData) .then(response => console.log('Payment successful:', response)) .catch(error => console.error('Payment failed:', error)); ```

2. Handle payment responses and update the order status in your system.

Step 5: Error Handling and Logging

1. Implement error handling to manage failed API calls.

   ```javascript client.payments.create(paymentData) .then(response => { console.log('Payment successful:', response); // Update order status in your system }) .catch(error => { console.error('Payment failed:', error); // Log the error for further analysis }); ```

2. Log all API responses for auditing and debugging purposes.

Step 6: Go Live

1. Test your integration thoroughly in a sandbox environment.

2. Once all tests pass, switch to the production environment by updating your API credentials.

3. Monitor transactions and user feedback to ensure a smooth operation.
