Overview

Design and build a modern REST API (v2) for the Click2Mail platform, replacing the legacy API with a well-documented, consistent, and developer-friendly interface.

Business Value

Developer Adoption: Modern API design attracts integrators and partners
Revenue Growth: API-driven customers have higher lifetime value
Efficiency: Consistent patterns reduce support burden
Ecosystem: Enables third-party integrations and marketplace

Technical Approach

Design an OpenAPI 3.1 specification with consistent resource naming, pagination, filtering, and error handling. Implement OAuth 2.0 for authentication with API key fallback. Build a developer portal with interactive documentation, SDKs, and code examples.

Risks

Must maintain backward compatibility or provide clear migration path from v1
Rate limiting must be tuned to avoid impacting high-volume customers
Documentation quality is critical for developer adoption
