-
Subdomain configuration: Picqer uses company-specific subdomains (e.g.,
company.picqer.com). Make sure you configure the correct subdomain/hostname in your API requests to reach your account. - Basic Auth format: Picqer uses HTTP Basic Authentication with the API key as the username and no password (or empty password). Ensure your HTTP client properly formats the Basic Auth header.
- Rate limiting: The API has rate limits to protect system performance. Implement exponential backoff retry logic when you receive rate limit errors.
- Webhook alternatives: While Picqer supports webhooks for real-time updates, the API integration uses polling. Consider enabling webhooks if real-time data is critical for your use case.
- Dutch language fields: Picqer is a Dutch company and some field names or enum values may be in Dutch. Refer to the API documentation for field mappings and translations.
