    Third-Party API Integration Guidelines
    in Asp.Net Core Web API
    Integrating third-party APIs into an ASP.NET Core Web API can be done using various approaches,
    but here are some general guidelines to help you get started:

    1. Identify the API: Determine the third-party API you want to integrate into your ASP.NET Core Web
    API. Read their documentation thoroughly to understand its features, authentication requirements,
    request/response formats, and any limitations.

    2. Create a separate service: Create a separate service or a class to encapsulate the logic related to
    the third-party API integration. This will help keep your code organized and maintainable. You can
    define an interface for the service to facilitate dependency injection and unit testing.

    3. Add necessary dependencies: If the third-party API requires any additional dependencies or SDKs,
    install them using NuGet packages. You may need to add the necessary packages to your ASP.NET
    Core Web API project.

    4. Handle authentication: Determine the authentication mechanism required by the third-party API.
    It could be API keys, OAuth tokens, or any other authentication method. Implement the necessary
    authentication logic in your service. Store any sensitive information such as API keys or secrets in a
    secure configuration store, like environment variables or Azure Key Vault.

    5. Make HTTP requests: Use the `HttpClient` class in ASP.NET Core to send HTTP requests to the
    third-party API. Construct the request payload and headers according to the API documentation. You
    can use the `System.Net.Http` namespace for this purpose.

    6. Handle responses: Handle the responses from the third-party API by parsing the returned data
    according to the API documentation. Map the response data to your own domain models or DTOs
    (Data Transfer Objects) if needed.

    7. Error handling and retries: Implement error handling logic to handle any exceptions or error
    responses from the third-party API. Consider implementing retries for temporary failures or rate-
    limited scenarios. You can use policies provided by libraries like Polly to handle retries and transient
    errors.

    8. Caching and rate limiting: If the third-party API has rate limits or if you want to optimize
    performance, consider implementing caching mechanisms to store and reuse API responses. Caching
    can be done using an in-memory cache or distributed cache options like Redis.

    9. Unit testing: Write unit tests for your service to ensure that the integration with the third-party
    API works as expected. You can use mocking frameworks like Moq to mock the API responses and test
    various scenarios.

    10. Logging and monitoring: Implement logging to record any important events, errors, or debug
    information related to the integration with the third-party API. Consider using a logging framework
    like Serilog or the built-in logging capabilities of ASP.NET Core. Additionally, you can monitor API usage
    and performance using tools like Application Insights.
    Remember to handle exceptions gracefully, consider performance implications, and follow best
    practices outlined by the third-party API documentation. Also, keep in mind any applicable terms of
    service or usage limits provided by the API provider.
