How can circular dependencies on API endpoints be handled?

edit

Circular dependencies on API endpoints can be handled in the following ways:

1. Refactor code: Check if the circular dependency is due to the design of the code. Refactor the code to reduce the dependency and make it more modular.

2. Split endpoints: Split the endpoints into smaller, independent endpoints. This means each endpoint should have only one responsibility and should not depend on any other endpoint.

3. Use caching: If the endpoints depend on each other for data, consider caching the data to remove the need for dependent calls.

4. Use callbacks: Use callbacks or webhooks to handle cross-referencing data instead of using synchronous request/response.

5. Use event-driven architecture: Use an event-driven architecture to handle the circular dependency. This can help to decouple components and make it easier to manage dependencies.

6. Re-think API design: Re-think the API design to eliminate circular dependencies. Analysing the data flow and relationships between components can help identify the areas to improve.
