Getting Started
Review Documentation
Essential API documentation and resources for your integration
Before beginning development, familiarize yourself with the MasonHub API documentation and key resources.
Primary API Documentation
MasonHub API Documentation
Complete API reference with endpoints, parameters, and examples
Key Documentation Sections
Core API Endpoints
Review these essential endpoint categories:
Integration Patterns
Authentication
All API calls require authentication using your bearer token:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Rate Limiting
The MasonHub API implements rate limiting to ensure system stability. Review the rate limit headers in API responses and implement appropriate retry logic.
Error Handling
Understand the API’s error response format:
{
"error": {
"code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
"message": "Invalid ship method mapping",
"details": {
"field": "shipping_service_provider",
"value": "invalid_provider"
}
}
}
