API and Interface Standards

Overview

All platform services in IUDX-Novo expose RESTful APIs using standardized and widely adopted web protocols. These standards ensure consistency, interoperability, and secure communication across internal services and external integrations.

Standards and Technologies Used

The platform adheres to the following API and interface standards:

• API Style: REST

• Transport Protocol: HTTPS

• API Specification: OpenAPI

• Data Formats: JSON / JSON-LD

API Design Principles

All APIs follow consistent and predictable design conventions, including:

• Standardized HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)

• Well-defined HTTP status codes for success and error scenarios

• Consistent error handling and response structures

• Clear separation of concerns across API endpoints

These conventions simplify client development and improve interoperability.

Security and Communication

• HTTPS is enforced for all external and internal API interactions

• Secure communication ensures data confidentiality and integrity in transit

• APIs integrate with the platform’s authentication and authorization mechanisms

Interoperability

The data access, discovery, management, and authorization interfaces are designed to:

• Support interoperability with standards-compliant external systems

• Enable integration with third-party platforms and services

• Facilitate reuse of APIs across domains and deployments

Role in the Platform

• Provides a consistent and secure interaction layer for all services

• Enables extensibility and ecosystem integration

• Supports long-term maintainability and standards compliance
