The idempotency key
An idempotency key is a unique identifier included in a request to ensure that even if the request is sent multiple times, it will only be processed once. Imagine you’re ordering something online and accidentally click the “Submit Order” button twice. Without an idempotency key, the system might process your order twice, charging you twice and sending you two of the same item. With an idempotency key, the system recognizes that the second request is a duplicate and ignores it, preventing any unwanted duplicates.
In the context of Namirial Onboarding, when you create a new request, you can include an idempotency key. This ensures that if the request is accidentally sent multiple times due to network issues or user error, the system will only process it once. For example, if you send a request to start a new onboarding process with the idempotency key 123456789, the system will process this request and start the onboarding process. If the same request is sent again with the same idempotency key, the system will see that it has already processed a request with that key and will ignore the duplicate request.
In summary, an idempotency key acts as a safeguard to ensure your requests are processed correctly and only once, even if they are accidentally sent multiple times. In Namirial Onboarding, this feature is especially beneficial as it prevents the creation of duplicate requests. Duplicate requests can lead to unnecessary costs and cause confusion regarding the onboarding process that has already been completed.Create a new request without preset data
