Best Practices

1. Input Validation

Always validate inputs before calling the API:

function isValidBirthDate(date: string): boolean {
  const regex = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/;
  if (!regex.test(date)) return false;

  const d = new Date(date);
  return d instanceof Date && !isNaN(d.getTime());
}

function isValidFullName(name: string): boolean {
  // At least first and last name
  const parts = name.trim().split(/\s+/);
  return parts.length >= 2 && parts.every(part => /^[a-zA-Z]+$/.test(part));
}

2. Error Handling

Implement robust error handling:

async function safeApiCall<T>(endpoint: string, body: any): Promise<T | null> {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`https://roxyapi.com/api/v2/numerology${endpoint}`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'X-API-Key': process.env.ROXYAPI_KEY!,
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(body),
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      const error = await response.json();
      console.error('API Error:', error);
      return null;
    }

    return response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Network Error:', error);
    return null;
  }
}

3. Caching Strategy

Cache results to minimize API calls:

import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis';

const redis = new Redis({
  url: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_URL!,
  token: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_TOKEN!,
});

async function getCachedOrFetch<T>(
  key: string,
  fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
  ttl: number = 86400 // 24 hours
): Promise<T> {
  const cached = await redis.get<T>(key);

  if (cached) {
    return cached;
  }

  const fresh = await fetcher();
  await redis.setex(key, ttl, JSON.stringify(fresh));
  return fresh;
}

// Usage
const chart = await getCachedOrFetch(
  `chart:${userId}`,
  () => generateChart(birthDate, fullName),
  86400 * 30 // Cache for 30 days
);

4. Batch Processing

Use the /chart endpoint for bulk processing:

async function generateReportsForUsers(users: User[]) {
  const charts = await Promise.all(
    users.map(user =>
      generateChart(user.birthDate, user.fullName)
        .then(chart => ({ userId: user.id, chart }))
        .catch(error => ({ userId: user.id, error }))
    )
  );

  const successful = charts.filter(r => !r.error);
  const failed = charts.filter(r => r.error);

  console.log(`Generated ${successful.length} charts, ${failed.length} failures`);

  return { successful, failed };
}
