# ⁠Integration Guidelines

### Overview

This document provides comprehensive guidelines for integrating with the Nedal AI platform. Whether you're building applications, extending functionality, or connecting services, these guidelines ensure smooth integration while maintaining security and performance standards.

### API Integration

#### REST API

```typescript
// Base URL
const API_BASE = 'https://api.nedal.ai/v1';

// Authentication
const headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

// Example Request
async function createAgent(config) {
  const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/agents`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers,
    body: JSON.stringify(config)
  });
  return response.json();
}
```

#### GraphQL API

```graphql
# Example Query
query GetAgentStatus {
  agent(id: "agent_id") {
    status
    currentTask
    performance {
      cpuUsage
      memoryUsage
    }
  }
}
```

### Smart Contract Integration

#### Contract Interfaces

```solidity
interface INedalAgent {
    function deploy(bytes32 configHash) external returns (uint256 agentId);
    function configure(uint256 agentId, bytes calldata config) external;
    function execute(uint256 agentId, bytes calldata input) external returns (bytes memory);
}
```

#### Event Handling

```solidity
event AgentDeployed(uint256 indexed agentId, address indexed owner);
event TaskCompleted(uint256 indexed agentId, bytes32 indexed taskId);
```

### SDK Integration

#### JavaScript/TypeScript

```typescript
import { NedalAI } from '@nedal/sdk';

const nedal = new NedalAI({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  environment: 'production'
});

// Initialize agent
const agent = await nedal.createAgent({
  type: 'trading',
  config: {
    strategy: 'momentum',
    risk_level: 'moderate'
  }
});
```

#### Python

```python
from nedal_ai import NedalAI

client = NedalAI(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
    environment='production'
)

# Deploy agent
agent = client.agents.create(
    type='content_creator',
    config={
        'language': 'en',
        'tone': 'professional'
    }
)
```

### Webhook Integration

#### Configuration

```json
{
  "webhook_url": "https://your-app.com/webhook",
  "events": ["agent.deployed", "task.completed"],
  "secret": "your_webhook_secret"
}
```

#### Event Format

```json
{
  "event_type": "agent.deployed",
  "timestamp": "2024-01-09T12:00:00Z",
  "data": {
    "agent_id": "ag_123",
    "status": "active",
    "configuration": {}
  },
  "signature": "..."
}
```

### Authentication Methods

#### API Key Authentication

* Generate API keys in dashboard
* Include in Authorization header
* Rotate keys periodically
* Implement key scoping

#### OAuth2 Flow

1. Client registration
2. Authorization request
3. Token exchange
4. Access token usage

### Rate Limiting

#### Limits

* 1000 requests/minute for standard tier
* 5000 requests/minute for premium tier
* Custom limits for enterprise

#### Headers

```
X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 999
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1704819600
```

### Error Handling

#### Error Codes

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "insufficient_resources",
    "message": "Agent deployment failed due to insufficient resources",
    "details": {
      "required": "4GB",
      "available": "2GB"
    }
  }
}
```

#### Error Categories

* Authentication errors (401, 403)
* Validation errors (400)
* Resource errors (404)
* System errors (500)

### Best Practices

#### Security

1. Store API keys securely
2. Implement retry with backoff
3. Validate webhook signatures
4. Monitor API usage

#### Performance

1. Use connection pooling
2. Implement caching
3. Batch requests when possible
4. Handle rate limits gracefully

### Testing & Development

#### Environments

* Sandbox: `https://sandbox.api.nedal.ai`
* Staging: `https://staging.api.nedal.ai`
* Production: `https://api.nedal.ai`

#### Test Credentials

```json
{
  "api_key": "test_key_123",
  "webhook_secret": "test_secret_456"
}
```

### Support & Resources
