API Requests

Question: What are some examples of good design regarding an integration application?

Answer: Design the integration application to be scalable and efficient by limiting the number of API Requests per loan workflow. This is Use Case-specific and is different depending on the Use Case(s).

• An example might be making a PipeLine request and then making a GET Loan request on each Loan returned by the PipeLine. A better process might be to simply add the fields needed to cache into the return results of the PipeLine instead of doing a Loan GET on each loan.
• Another example might be requesting a Loan GET and then requesting Loan Associates GET to get the value of the Loan Officer ID (LOID). The LOID is part of the Loan GET Payload, so you don’t need to request the Loan Associates.
