SMM API for resellers: what to check before integration
API is not only about creating orders. A good integration should fetch the catalog, calculate prices, handle errors, update statuses and protect the key.
Start with catalog and prices
Before creating orders, fetch the service catalog and keep only the categories you need. Consider currency, markup, minimum and maximum values, automatic processing availability and service description. If a service is disabled or its price changes, the client interface should show current information.
Statuses matter more than one response
After creating an order, do not treat it as completed just because the API response was successful. An order can be queued, in progress, partially completed, canceled or waiting for action. The integration should check status regularly and show the result correctly.
- balance helps control available funds.
- services provides current catalog and prices.
- add creates an order only after parameter validation.
- status synchronizes order state.
Errors and security
Do not store the API key in browser code and do not publish it in repositories. Handle insufficient funds, invalid parameters, temporary provider errors and repeated requests. For financial operations, keep an action log and do not repeat balance deductions without explicit confirmation.
