This architecture overview describes the core components responsible for interacting with the Asana API, handling various resource-specific operations, and efficiently managing paginated and event-stream responses. The system is designed with a clear separation of concerns, where a central API client handles low-level communication, specialized clients manage resource-specific interactions, and dedicated iterators provide robust mechanisms for data retrieval from paginated endpoints and real-time event streams.

Components

Asana API Client Core

This component provides the fundamental capabilities for interacting with the Asana API, including handling HTTP requests, authentication, and response parsing. It serves as the low-level interface for all API interactions.

Asana Resource Specific API Clients

These components are specialized API clients, each dedicated to a particular Asana resource (e.g., Tasks, Users, Projects). They expose high-level methods for resource-specific operations and internally leverage the Asana API Client Core for communication.

Pagination Iterator

This component provides the generic iteration logic for handling paginated responses from the Asana API. It manages the state of pagination (e.g., next_page token, item_limit) and orchestrates subsequent API calls to retrieve data pages.

Event Stream Iterator

This component specializes in iterating over real-time event streams from the Asana API. It extends the Pagination Iterator to incorporate event-specific mechanisms like sync tokens and has_more flags for continuous event fetching.
