HOW TO INTEGRATE PURE SPECTRUM SUPPLIER API

PureSpectrum Supplier API

Process of integrating the PureSpectrum Supplier API and how MR Buddies can assist you:

Step 1: Understanding the PureSpectrum Supplier API
What is the PureSpectrum Supplier API?

The PureSpectrum Supplier API allows for seamless integration with their platform, automating the process of sample sourcing, management, and delivery. This enables you to efficiently handle survey operations and data flows directly within your system.

Prerequisites for Integration:

  1. A valid PureSpectrum Supplier API key:

    • The API key is essential for authentication and ensuring secure communication between your system and PureSpectrum’s platform.

  2. Access to PureSpectrum’s API documentation:

    • The documentation will provide the necessary details about endpoints, data formats, request types (GET, POST, etc.), and any other specifics you need for successful integration.

  3. Full Knowledge of RESTful APIs and JSON:

    • RESTful APIs are a popular method for communicating between systems, and JSON is the format used for sending and receiving data. Understanding both will help you properly structure your requests and handle the responses from the API.
Step 2: Contact PureSpectrum

  • Production Environment: Once testing is complete and successful, prepare for a smooth transition to the production environment for live operations.
Endpoint Identification:
  • GET: Fetch available projects.
  • POST: Submit sample requests.
  • PUT: Update project details, quotas, and other project-related parameters.
Data Mapping:
  • Map your system’s data structure with PureSpectrum’s API fields to ensure proper and seamless data exchange between both systems.
Step 4: Development and Testing
Integration Development:
  • Develop Scripts or Programs: Create the necessary scripts or programs to establish a connection between your system and the PureSpectrum Supplier API using the provided endpoints.
  • Ensure Compliance: Verify that the integration adheres to the API specifications and requirements to ensure proper functionality.
Testing:
  • Test in Sandbox Environment: Conduct thorough testing in a sandbox environment to validate the integration’s functionality.
  • Validate Data Accuracy: Ensure the data fetched through the API is accurate and correctly mapped to your system.
  • Check Error Handling: Test how the system handles potential errors and unexpected responses.
  • Assess Response Times: Ensure the API responds promptly and efficiently under different conditions.
Debugging and Optimization:
  • Resolve Issues: Address any issues or bugs identified during testing.
  • Optimize Performance: Fine-tune the integration to improve performance, and reliability, and minimize downtime.
 
Step 5: Deployment and Monitoring
Switch to Production:
  • Migrate to Production: Move the integration from the testing environment to the production environment.
  • Final Validation: Perform a thorough final check to ensure the data flow is smooth and the system operates as expected.
Monitor Performance:
  • Continuous Monitoring: Implement ongoing monitoring of the API integration to track its performance and catch any potential issues.
  • Use Logging Tools: Utilize logging and tracking tools to maintain visibility and improve troubleshooting capabilities for the integration.
