I already run a PAN-card portal and have obtained full documentation plus a live API key for the official Application API. What I now need is clean, well-tested code that plugs this API into my existing workflow so users can: • submit brand-new PAN applications • update records they have already started • pull back the latest application details in real time The API is REST/JSON and secured only by an API key, so no OAuth dance is required—just proper header handling and secure storage of the key on the server. I will provide the key, the docs, and access to a staging instance of the portal. Please wire the endpoints, map all responses to our current UI, build solid error/timeout handling, and give me a short read-me so future devs can follow the flow. Everything must be fully tested on staging; once it passes, I’ll move it to production myself. If you’ve integrated government or financial APIs before, that’s a plus, but clear, maintainable code and reliable testing matter most.
