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? In case you wish to do this automatically, check out the "Example of how to document your API for a Python application."
- 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.
