​
Integration Patterns

​
Authentication

All API calls require authentication using your bearer token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     https://api.masonhub.co/api/v1/orders

​
Rate Limiting

The MasonHub API implements rate limiting to ensure system stability. Review the rate limit headers in API responses and implement appropriate retry logic.

​
Error Handling

Understand the API’s error response format:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "Invalid ship method mapping",
    "details": {
      "field": "shipping_service_provider",
      "value": "invalid_provider"
    }
  }
}

​
Additional Resources

Data Factory

Generate test data for production simulations

Callback Events

Set up webhooks for real-time notifications

​
Environment Differences

​
Sandbox Environment

  • Base URL: https://sandbox-api.masonhub.co
  • Purpose: Testing and development
  • Data: Test data that can be safely modified

​
Production Environment

  • Base URL: https://api.masonhub.co
  • Purpose: Live operations
  • Data: Real customer and order data

Always develop and test in the sandbox environment before deploying to production.
