AppFolio API Integration Patterns
Implements production-ready design patterns and SDK structures for the AppFolio property management REST API.
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for interacting with the AppFolio REST API using standardized TypeScript patterns. It simplifies the development of real estate integrations by offering a thread-safe singleton client, robust error handling with automatic retry logic for rate limits, and type-safe request builders. By centralizing authentication and pagination logic, it helps developers build reliable applications for managing properties, tenants, leases, and work orders while maintaining code consistency and preventing credential sprawl.
