API and Integrations

AetherPro depends on external connectivity, but those integrations need clear boundaries. Users should understand what credentials are required, what the platform is responsible for, and where future APIs belong in the product model.

Integration model

Integrations should be described as operating dependencies, not magical infrastructure. They connect the bot to exchanges, credentials, and eventually external services, but they remain part of an explicit trust boundary.

What operators should understand

Credential scope

Exchange keys and account bindings define what the platform can access and which wallets or accounts a bot can control.

Platform boundary

The product manages orchestration and visibility, but external services still define their own uptime, constraints, and response semantics.

Failure handling

Timeouts, rejected orders, and stale connection state are part of the integration story and need documented operator expectations.

Expected integration surfaces

  • Exchange connectivity for order routing and live position state.
  • Credential loading and secure account association for each bot.
  • Operational telemetry such as logs, alerts, and audit-friendly event records.
  • Future APIs for external reporting, management workflows, or platform extensions.

Design requirement: same story for users and developers

The product should not describe integrations one way in the UI and another way in technical documentation. Public docs, operator guidance, and developer-facing integration docs need to reinforce the same trust model.

Integrations increase responsibility, not just capability

Every external connection expands the operational surface. Good integration docs should explain capability, dependency, failure modes, and where responsibility stays with the operator.

Credentialed integrations make the product more powerful, but they also make documentation and operator discipline more important.
