Back-End

API Development & Integrations

REST and GraphQL APIs built to a written spec, and the integrations that get your CRM, payment gateway, accounting package and shipping provider talking to each other.

Back-End

Most of Your Software Already Has an API

Your CRM, your payment processor, your accounting package and your shipping provider all expose one. The work is rarely inventing something new — it is joining systems that were never designed to meet.

We build the endpoints you need to expose and the integrations that move data between the tools you already pay for, with retries and logging so a failure is visible rather than silent.

Features:
What We Build

Everything Included in an API Project

From the first endpoint specification to the documentation your other developers will actually read.

REST API Development

Resource-based endpoints with predictable responses, honest status codes, pagination and filtering, versioned so you can change them later without breaking anyone.

GraphQL APIs

A single endpoint where the client asks for exactly the fields it needs — useful when one screen has to pull from several different places at once.

Third-Party Integrations

CRMs, payment gateways, accounting packages, shipping carriers and marketing platforms wired into the systems you already run.

Webhooks & Events

Endpoints that receive events from other systems, verified, queued and processed so nothing is lost when a service has a bad day.

Authentication & Security

OAuth, API keys and scoped tokens, rate limiting and request logging, so access to your data stays controlled and auditable.

Documentation & Testing

An OpenAPI specification, a sandbox to try calls against, and automated tests so a change never quietly breaks whoever is consuming it.

REST & GraphQL

Two Ways to Expose the Same Data

REST gives you resource-based endpoints that cache well, read clearly in a log and are understood by every developer and tool you will ever hand them to. For most projects it is still the right default.

GraphQL earns its place when one screen needs data from five different tables and you are tired of choosing between over-fetching and shipping a new endpoint every sprint. Plenty of projects end up running both, and we will tell you which fits.

Reliability

Integrations Fail Quietly Unless You Plan for It

Third-party services go down, rate-limit you, rename a field without warning or time out at the worst possible moment. An integration written only for the happy path will drop orders quietly, and nobody notices until a customer calls.

So we build in retries with backoff, idempotency keys so nothing is processed twice, a dead-letter queue for whatever still fails, and logs you can search. When something breaks you get an alert with the payload attached, not a mystery.

Our Process

How an API Project Runs

The contract gets agreed first — endpoints, payloads and error cases — and the build follows from it.

01

Scope & Contract

We map what data has to move and in which direction, then write the endpoint contract before any code exists.

02

Build & Sandbox

Endpoints built against that spec, with a sandbox your team and your other vendors can test against early.

03

Connect & Test

We wire up the live systems, force the failure cases deliberately, and confirm nothing duplicates or disappears.

04

Launch & Monitor

A versioned release, published documentation, and alerting so you hear about a broken feed from us first.

What Usually Comes With an API Project

An API is the connective layer. These are the pieces most often built alongside it.

MySQL

Whatever an API reads or writes still has to be stored, indexed and queried somewhere sensible.

Node.js Development

A strong fit for APIs that have to hold a lot of connections open at the same time.

Python

A good choice for data-heavy endpoints, scheduled sync jobs and automation work.

Questions

API Development: Frequently Asked Questions

An API is the doorway your system exposes. An integration is the wiring that makes two systems walk through each other’s doorways. Most projects need a bit of both, and we quote them together.

REST in most cases — it caches well, reads clearly in a log and every tool understands it. GraphQL is worth it when one screen pulls from many sources and the list of one-off endpoints is getting out of hand.

Usually. If it publishes an API we build to their documentation. If it does not, we look at scheduled exports or an SFTP drop instead, and tell you up front how fragile that route is likely to be.

Requests are retried with a backoff, anything that still fails lands in a queue rather than vanishing, and you get an alert. When the service returns, the queue drains and the data catches up.

Scoped tokens or OAuth rather than one shared key, rate limiting, HTTPS everywhere, request logging you can audit, and endpoints that return no more data than the caller actually needs.

Yes. An OpenAPI specification, example requests and responses, and a sandbox to try calls against, so your other developers never have to email us to ask how something works.

You do. The repository, the code and the documentation are yours from day one, and we hand over access at launch whether or not you carry on working with us.
