Api Integration

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Integrate with OrcaFlex Python API
• Integrate with ANSYS AQWA or WAMIT
• Create mock APIs for testing without software licenses
• Build automation workflows for marine analysis software
• Develop robust error handling for API calls
• Implement batch processing with external software APIs
• Create abstraction layers over multiple analysis tools

Core Knowledge Areas

1. OrcaFlex API Integration

Working with OrcaFlex Python API:

import os
from pathlib import Path
from typing import Optional, Dict, List, Any
from dataclasses import dataclass
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

# Mock OrcaFlex API for testing without license

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### 2. Abstract API Interface Pattern

Creating abstraction layer for multiple tools:

```python
class MarineAnalysisAPI(ABC):
    """Abstract base class for marine analysis software APIs."""

    @abstractmethod
    def create_model(self, config: dict) -> Any:
        """Create new analysis model."""
        pass

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### 3. Mock Testing Strategy

Testing without software licenses:

```python
import pytest
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch, MagicMock
from pathlib import Path

class TestOrcaFlexIntegration:
    """Test suite for OrcaFlex integration using mocks."""


*See sub-skills for full details.*
### 4. Error Handling and Retry Logic

Robust error handling for API calls:

```python
import time
from functools import wraps
 typing  , ,
