e-conomic Integration Best Practices for 2026

Integrating e-conomic with automation tools requires careful planning and execution. This guide covers everything you need to know.

Understanding the e-conomic API

The e-conomic REST API provides comprehensive access to:

• Customers, suppliers, and products
• Invoices and vouchers
• Accounting entries and journals
• Reports and financial statements

Best Practices

1. Authentication and Security

Always use OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Never store agreement grants in your application.

const client = createEconomicClient({
  appSecretToken: process.env.ECONOMIC_TOKEN,
  agreementGrant: userAgreementGrant
});

2. Rate Limiting

Respect API rate limits:

• 1000 requests per hour per agreement
• Implement exponential backoff for retries
• Use batch endpoints where available

3. Data Synchronization

Implement robust sync strategies:

• Use webhooks for real-time updates
• Poll for changes at reasonable intervals
• Handle conflicts gracefully
• Maintain local cache for performance

4. Error Handling

Common error scenarios:

• Network timeouts
• Invalid data format
• Permission errors
• Rate limit exceeded

Always implement proper error handling and user feedback.

Performance Optimization

• Cache frequently accessed data
• Use selective field loading
• Implement pagination for large datasets
• Leverage e-conomic's filtering capabilities
