Phase 2 - API Interface

5.1 RESTful API Design

WIA-UNI-008 APIs follow RESTful principles with standard HTTP methods:

5.2 Authentication and Security

OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication with scopes for granular access control:

5.3 Key API Endpoints

Routes API

Bookings API

Tracking API

5.4 Webhooks

Event-driven notifications for booking confirmations, cancellations, delays, and cargo status changes. Webhooks use HMAC-SHA256 signatures for security.

5.5 Rate Limiting

Fair usage policies: 1,000 req/hour (standard), 10,000 req/hour (premium), custom for enterprise.
