API documentation and integration guides for external services

API Reference

This section provides comprehensive documentation for all API integrations used in Remind Tools.

Overview

Remind Tools integrates with several powerful APIs to deliver a rich user experience:

Supabase

Backend services, database, and real-time features

Google Gemini

AI-powered features and intelligent assistance

MapBox

3D maps and location services

Integration Architecture

Authentication Flow

All API calls are authenticated through Supabase Auth:

1. User Authentication

   User signs in via Supabase Auth (email, social providers)

2. Token Generation

   Supabase generates JWT tokens for authenticated sessions

3. API Authorization

   Tokens are used to authorize API calls to backend services

4. Service Integration

   Backend validates tokens and processes requests

Rate Limiting

All APIs have rate limits. Please review individual service documentation for specific limits.

Service	Rate Limit	Window
Supabase	1000 req/min	Per project
Gemini Pro	60 req/min	Per API key
MapBox	600 req/min	Per token

Environment Configuration

API keys and endpoints are managed through environment files:

# .env.development
SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_anon_key
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_key
MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_mapbox_token

Error Handling

All API integrations follow a consistent error handling pattern:

try {
  final response = await apiClient.request();
  return Success(response);
} on ApiException catch (e) {
  return Failure(e.message);
} catch (e) {
  return Failure('Unexpected error occurred');
}

Monitoring & Analytics

API usage is monitored through:

• Request/response logging
• Performance metrics
• Error tracking
• Usage analytics

Security Best Practices

1. Never expose API keys in client code
2. Use environment-specific configurations
3. Implement request signing where applicable
4. Validate all API responses
5. Handle errors gracefully
6. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
