Hello there,
I am working on building automated workflows using Make, and I have encountered a challenge that I hope someone here can help with. My goal is to integrate Make with a custom API to automate certain tasks; but I am unsure about the best approach for this integration.
I have gone through the Make documentation and looked into the available API connectors; but I have a few specific questions that are still unclear:
My custom API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. What is the recommended way to handle OAuth 2.0 authentication when creating a custom connection in Make? Is there any built-in functionality, or do I need to manually handle the OAuth flow?
Once I have established the connection, what is the best way to send data to my API? For instance; should I use the HTTP module or is there a more efficient method for handling API requests with Make?
I am also curious about how to properly handle potential errors or timeouts from the API calls. Are there any best practices for setting up retries or notifications if a connection fails?
Also, I have gone through this post; https://www.make.com/en/blog/connect-to-anything-with-an-API-devops which definitely helped me out a lot.
Finally; my API has rate limiting in place; and I am wondering how to ensure that Make does not exceed the allowed request limits. Does Make provide any tools or guidelines for managing rate limits effectively?
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
