1. API Understanding and Operational Oversight

Objective: Ensure seamless understanding and monitoring of all APIs integrated and offered by BeFiSc.

1.1. Comprehensive API Knowledge:

• Understand complete API lifecycle including: - Request-Response flows - Authentication protocols used (API keys, tokens, etc.) - Typical transaction volume and daily usage trends - Retry logic and rate limits - Error and exception handling mechanisms

1.2. API Source Mapping & Status Codes:

• Maintain detailed documentation of: - API sources (internal vs third-party) - Status code references and explanations - Output field definitions with response structure clarity

1.3. API Uptime/Downtime Management:

• Track: - Real-time API health - Scheduled downtimes and outages - Root cause analysis (RCA) of unplanned outages - Escalation logs and resolutions

2. Vendor API & Contractual Alignment

Objective: Ensure complete transparency and control over vendor integrations and contracts.

2.1. Vendor API Documentation:

• For each vendor, maintain: - API input/output documentation - Status code mappings - Field-by-field data comparison with BeFiSc output standards

2.2. Multi-Vendor API Comparison:

• For APIs sourced from multiple vendors: - Input/output field mapping - Pricing per transaction or package - Performance benchmarks (response time, downtime) - Error response quality

2.3. Contractual Compliance:

• Validate that: - All active vendor services are covered under valid contracts - Clauses around SLA, penalties, and support are adhered to - Regular renewals and amendments are tracked

3. Support Request & Incident Management

Objective: Proactively manage and resolve client technical concerns and improve API experience.

3.1. Incident Monitoring:

• Identify APIs with: - Maximum recurring downtime - High-volume technical tickets - Common patterns of failure (timeouts, invalid responses, etc.)

3.2. Client Usage Customization:

• Maintain matrix of: - Client-specific API configuration (timeout, retries, security protocols) - Unique error logs and recovery actions

3.3. Prioritised Support Handling:

• For all incoming client tickets: - Assign severity levels - Define resolution SLA - Ensure feedback loop with client post-resolution

4. Daily API Monitoring & Quality Checks

Objective: Deliver consistent, reliable API performance by leveraging proactive monitoring.

4.1. Health Monitoring Protocol:

• Set up dashboards to track: - API latency and throughput - Uptime reports per API - Alert mechanism for anomalies (latency spike, high failure rate)

4.2. Validation & Testing:

• Ensure daily: - Sample transaction validation - Output field accuracy - Broken field or missing parameter identification

5. Sales Requirement & API Customisation Management

Objective: Bridge sales team expectations with technical feasibility in a structured manner.

5.1. Request Classification:

• Categorise incoming requirements as: - R&D Exploration - Customisation/Enhancement of existing API - Integration of new third-party API

5.2. Priority Assessment:

• Evaluate each request on: - Expected revenue impact - Strategic market value - Reusability for future clients

5.3. Development Pipeline Coordination:

• Maintain: - Product backlog with timelines - Inter-department coordination for feasibility analysis - Feedback loop with sales for progress update

Reporting & Review Mechanism:

• Weekly report to leadership covering: - API performance summary - Client support metrics - Vendor issue tracker - Pending and resolved sales API requests - Monthly strategic review to align on improvements and roadmap.
