Security and Best Practices

!!! warning "Security Notice" While QubiPy provides tools to interact with the Qubic network, users are responsible for implementing proper security measures in their applications.

Best Practices

API Usage

!!! info "Rate Limiting"

  • Implement proper rate limiting in your applications
  • Handle API errors gracefully
  • Don't spam the network with unnecessary requests
  • Cache responses when appropriate

Error Handling

!!! tip "Proper Error Management"

try:
    response = rpc_client.get_transaction_status(tx_id)
except QubiPy_Exceptions as e:
    # Handle QubiPy specific errors
    logger.error(f"QubiPy error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    # Handle unexpected errors
    logger.error(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

Transaction Safety

!!! danger "Critical Considerations"

  • Always verify transaction data before broadcasting
  • Double-check addresses and amounts
  • Keep private keys secure and never share them
  • Don't store sensitive information in code or version control

Configuration Management

!!! tip "Environment Variables"

  • Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
  • Don't hardcode API endpoints or credentials
  • Keep production and development configurations separate

Logging

!!! info "Logging Best Practices"

  • Implement comprehensive logging
  • Don't log sensitive information
  • Use appropriate log levels
  • Include relevant context in log messages

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

!!! warning "Don'ts"

  • Don't ignore API response validation
  • Don't catch all exceptions without proper handling
  • Don't store sensitive data in plaintext
