API Integration Project

1. Project Overview

- The goal of this project is to integrate with an external API and build a Spring Boot application that can consume and utilize data from the API.

- The project will consist of the following components:

- API integration using Spring Boot

- Development of RESTful endpoints to interact with the API

- Implementation of error handling and logging

- Unit and integration testing

- Deployment to a production environment

2. Technology Stack

- Spring Boot

- Java

- RESTful APIs

- JSON

- Maven or Gradle (build automation tools)

- Git (version control)

3. Project Milestones

- Set up the development environment: Install necessary tools, set up the project structure, configure API authentication and authorization

- API integration: Connect to the API, fetch, and store data, handle rate limits and errors, and transform the data into a desired format

- RESTful endpoint development: Create RESTful endpoints to expose the API data, handle input validation and exceptions

- Error handling and logging: Implement appropriate error handling and logging strategies to ensure the application is reliable and debuggable

- Testing: Write unit and integration tests to validate the functionality of the application

- Deployment: Deploy the application to a production environment and ensure it is running smoothly

4. Project Deliverables

- Source code: All source code developed during the project

- Documentation: Technical documentation on the project including API documentation, user documentation, and installation instructions

- Test reports: Detailed reports on all testing activities performed

- Deployment package: The final deployment package ready for production release

5. Assumptions and Dependencies

- The API provides adequate documentation and support

- The API is stable and reliable

- The development environment has all the necessary tools installed and configured

- The project timeline and budget are realistic and agreed upon by both parties.
