The main goal of this project is to create a framework that unifies API connections across multiple advertising platforms including but not limited to DV360, Google Ads, The Trade Desk, Facebook, etc.... This will involve tasks such as researching and documenting API specifics for multiple advertising platforms, developing infrastructure for API connections, implementing secure protocols, and establishing robust error handling mechanisms for integration.

Tasks for learners to complete:

• Research and document API specifics for each advertising platform, including authentication methods, endpoints, and data formats.
• Develop a framework that can work across multiple platforms and their unique API's, integrating platform specific authentication system.
• Establish robust error handling mechanisms for each platform; including timeouts, and server errors.
• Successfully documented API specifics for each advertising platform, including authentication methods, endpoints, and data formats.
• Functional connection infrastructure developed specifically for each platform using their respective authentication and API transport mechanisms.
• Robust error handling and platform based exponential backoff mechanisms established for each individual integration, addressing timeouts, server errors, and potential throttling.

Final deliverables:

1. Documentation:

• API Specifics Documentation: Comprehensive documentation detailing authentication methods, endpoints, and data formats for each advertising platform.

2. Technical Deliverables:

• Infrastructure Development:
• Multi-platform Integration: Creation of an adaptable infrastructure capable of interfacing with diverse APIs across multiple advertising platforms.
• Platform-Specific Authentication: Integration of authentication systems tailored to each platform's requirements.

3. Error Handling Mechanisms:

• Robust Error Handling:
• Timeout Management: Implementation of timeout strategies to manage API response delays.
• Server Error Handling: Protocols to effectively handle and recover from server-side errors.

4. Acceptance Criteria Fulfillment:

• Comprehensive API Documentation: Successful documentation of authentication methods, endpoints, and data formats for each advertising platform.
• Functional Infrastructure: Development of platform-specific connections using appropriate authentication and API transport mechanisms.
• Effective Error Handling: Implementation of robust error handling for each integration, encompassing timeouts, server errors, and potential throttling.
• Exponential Backoff Mechanisms: Integration of adaptive backoff strategies to manage and mitigate potential API throttling issues specific to each platform.

Additional Notes:

• Testing and Validation: Including a testing plan to validate the framework's functionality across various platforms, ensuring reliability and performance under different scenarios.
• Standardization and Scalability: Emphasizing the need for standardized documentation and code structure to enable easy scaling and future maintenance of the framework.
