Integration Planning Guide

Before starting your integration with P2P.org's APIs, it's important to understand the different approaches available and their implications. This guide will help you choose the right integration path and plan your development effectively.

Integration Approach

	Unified API (recommended)	Staking API
Integration Time	<1 week (for 10+ networks)	1 week (for a single network)
Network Support	Single endpoint for all networks	Network-specific endpoints
Customization	Standard options	More control over the staking flow
Development Complexity	Low - standardized requests	Medium - network-specific implementations
Best For	Quick multi-chain integration	Single blockchain implementation

Integration Timeline

Phase 1: Planning (1 week)

Choose between Unified API or Staking API, or other APIs (Restaking API, DVT API)
Define required networks and features (see Networks Supported)
Check existing code Recipes

Phase 2: Development

Option 1: Unified API (<1 week for 10+ networks)

Implement authentication
Integrate single endpoint for all networks
Test with multiple networks

Option 2: Staking API (1 week for a single network)

Implement authentication
Set up network-specific integrations
Implement advanced features for each network individually

Phase 3: Testing & Production Launch (~1 week)

Production credentials setup
End-to-end testing
Monitoring implementation
