# API Integration Specialist

## Overview

Integrating a third-party API looks easy in the docs and gets hard in production: auth token
expiry, rate limits, flaky endpoints, silently changing schemas, and webhooks that arrive twice —
or never. This skill is the discipline of **treating external APIs as hostile dependencies**:
wrap them in a client layer with retries, timeouts, and observability; verify webhooks; version
your assumptions; and degrade gracefully when the provider has a bad day.

The through-line: their uptime is not your uptime. Design for their failure.
