# Interoperable Application Checklist
Use this checklist to ensure that your application meets the requirements of being a modern interoperable application.
## RESTful APIs
- [ ] **API Implementation**: Have you implemented RESTful APIs to allow external systems to interact with your application?
- [ ] **Standard HTTP Methods**: Do you use standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for CRUD operations on resources?
- [ ] **API Documentation**: Is there comprehensive documentation available for your APIs, including endpoint descriptions, request/response formats, and authentication methods?
- [ ] **Security**: Have you implemented security measures such as authentication, authorization, and input validation for your APIs?
- [ ] **Testing**: Have you thoroughly tested your APIs using tools like Postman or curl?
## Python and Django (If applicable)
- [ ] **Django Setup**: Have you set up your Django project and app for building RESTful APIs?
- [ ] **API Views**: Have you defined API views using the `@api_view` decorator?
- [ ] **URL Patterns**: Have you configured URL patterns to map to your API views in your app's `urls.py`?
- [ ] **Serializers**: Have you created serializers for your data models using Django Rest Framework (DRF)?
- [ ] **Database Models**: Are your database models defined using Django's ORM?
- [ ] **Database Migrations**: Have you run database migrations to create the required database schema?
## Webhooks for External Notifications
- [ ] **Webhook Endpoint**: Have you defined an endpoint in your API to receive webhook notifications?
- [ ] **Security**: Have you implemented security measures to validate and authenticate incoming webhook payloads?
- [ ] **Event Triggers**: Have you identified the events that trigger webhook notifications in your application?
- [ ] **Payload Format**: Have you defined the format of the webhook payload (e.g., JSON or XML)?
- [ ] **Outbound Requests**: Do you send HTTP POST requests with the webhook payload to the specified webhook URL when events occur?
- [ ] **Retries and Acknowledgments**: Have you implemented handling for retries and acknowledgments to ensure delivery and reliability?
## Application Security
- [ ] **Authentication**: Is user authentication implemented to restrict access to authorized users?
- [ ] **Authorization**: Are access controls and permissions defined to limit what authenticated users can do within the application?
- [ ] **HTTPS**: Is HTTPS used to encrypt data transmitted between the application and clients?
- [ ] **Input Validation**: Are all user inputs properly validated to prevent common vulnerabilities?
- [ ] **API Security**: Are APIs secured with authentication tokens (e.g., JWT) and access limited to authorized clients?
- [ ] **Data Encryption**: Is sensitive data encrypted at rest and during transit?
- [ ] **Security Updates**: Are you regularly updating dependencies and applying security patches?
- [ ] **Logging and Monitoring**: Is there logging and monitoring in place to detect and respond to security incidents?
By completing this checklist, you can ensure that your application adheres to the requirements of being a modern interoperable application, capable of seamless communication and secure data exchange with other systems.
