Integration Guide
Step-by-step guide to integrate Bloklab platform into your application with best practices and code examples.
Integration Overview
This comprehensive guide walks you through integrating the Bloklab platform into your application, from initial setup to production deployment.
Follow these steps to build robust, secure, and scalable applications using our asset tokenization platform.
RESTful API
Modern REST API with comprehensive documentation and examples.
Real-time Webhooks
Event-driven architecture with reliable webhook delivery.
Enterprise Security
Bank-grade security with OAuth 2.0 and request signing.
Multi-language SDKs
Official SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Java, and more.
Integration Steps
Environment Setup
Prepare your development environment and obtain API credentials
Tasks:
Code Example:
# Install the Bloklab SDK
npm install @bloklab/sdk
# Environment variables (.env)
BLOKLAB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
BLOKLAB_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
BLOKLAB_ENVIRONMENT=sandbox # or production
BLOKLAB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret
Authentication Implementation
Implement secure authentication and token management
Tasks:
Code Example:
import { BloklabClient } from '@bloklab/sdk';
const client = new BloklabClient({
apiKey: process.env.BLOKLAB_API_KEY,
apiSecret: process.env.BLOKLAB_API_SECRET,
environment: process.env.BLOKLAB_ENVIRONMENT
});
// Authenticate user
const authResult = await client.auth.login({
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'securepassword',
mfaCode: '123456' // if MFA is enabled
});
// Store tokens securely
localStorage.setItem('bloklab_token', authResult.access_token);
Core Integration
Integrate core Bloklab functionalities into your application
Tasks:
Code Example:
// Initialize authenticated client
const authenticatedClient = new BloklabClient({
accessToken: localStorage.getItem('bloklab_token')
});
// Create a new asset
const newAsset = await authenticatedClient.assets.create({
name: 'Real Estate Investment Token',
symbol: 'REIT',
type: 'real_estate',
totalSupply: '1000000',
metadata: {
propertyAddress: '123 Main St, City, Country',
valuation: '5000000',
currency: 'USD'
}
});
// Execute a transaction
const transaction = await authenticatedClient.transactions.create({
assetId: newAsset.id,
fromAddress: '0x123...',
toAddress: '0x456...',
amount: '1000'
});
Webhook Configuration
Set up real-time event notifications using webhooks
Tasks:
Code Example:
// Express.js webhook endpoint
app.post('/webhooks/bloklab', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-bloklab-signature'];
const payload = req.body;
// Verify webhook signature
const expectedSignature = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', process.env.BLOKLAB_WEBHOOK_SECRET)
.update(payload)
.digest('hex');
if (signature !== expectedSignature) {
return res.status(401).send('Unauthorized');
}
const event = JSON.parse(payload);
// Handle different event types
switch (event.type) {
case 'asset.created':
handleAssetCreated(event.data);
break;
case 'transaction.completed':
handleTransactionCompleted(event.data);
break;
case 'user.kyc_approved':
handleKycApproved(event.data);
break;
}
res.status(200).send('OK');
});
Security & Compliance
Implement security measures and compliance requirements
Tasks:
Code Example:
// Rate limiting implementation
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const apiLimiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 100, // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
message: 'Too many requests from this IP'
});
// Apply rate limiting to API routes
app.use('/api/', apiLimiter);
// Audit logging
function logApiCall(req, res, next) {
console.log({
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
method: req.method,
url: req.url,
ip: req.ip,
userAgent: req.get('User-Agent')
});
next();
}
app.use(logApiCall);
Testing & Deployment
Test your integration and deploy to production
Tasks:
Code Example:
// Jest test example
describe('Bloklab Integration', () => {
test('should create asset successfully', async () => {
const asset = await client.assets.create({
name: 'Test Asset',
symbol: 'TST',
type: 'test',
totalSupply: '1000'
});
expect(asset.id).toBeDefined();
expect(asset.name).toBe('Test Asset');
expect(asset.status).toBe('pending_approval');
});
test('should handle authentication errors', async () => {
const invalidClient = new BloklabClient({
apiKey: 'invalid_key'
});
await expect(invalidClient.assets.list())
.rejects.toThrow('Unauthorized');
});
});
Common Integration Patterns
Asset Tokenization Workflow
Complete flow from asset creation to trading
User Onboarding Flow
Streamlined user registration and verification
Transaction Processing
Secure and efficient transaction handling
Integration Best Practices
Security
- • Store API keys securely in environment variables
- • Implement proper rate limiting
- • Use HTTPS for all API communications
- • Validate webhook signatures
- • Implement proper error handling
Performance
- • Use pagination for large data sets
- • Implement caching where appropriate
- • Use webhooks for real-time updates
- • Batch API requests when possible
- • Monitor API usage and limits
Common Issues & Solutions
Authentication Errors
If you're receiving 401 Unauthorized errors:
- • Verify your API key is correct and active
- • Check if your token has expired
- • Ensure proper Authorization header format
Rate Limiting
If you're hitting rate limits:
- • Implement exponential backoff retry logic
- • Monitor rate limit headers in responses
- • Consider upgrading your API plan
