API Development Services

For teams whose web app, mobile app and partners all need the same data and keep getting it in slightly different ways.

The problem

Does this sound familiar?

Your web app, mobile app and partners each get the data a different way. Integrations with third-party systems fail quietly. Nobody knows which fields are safe to change. API development services should give every client one dependable contract and make failures visible the moment they happen.

What is included

Custom API development: what is included

  1. 01

    Data model and schema design

    The data model comes first, because an API outlives the screens in front of it. Getting it right early avoids painful migrations later.

  2. 02

    REST or GraphQL APIs with versioning

    Clients keep working when the API changes, because versions are planned and old ones are retired on a schedule you can see.

  3. 03

    Authentication, roles and permissions

    Who can read or change what is defined once, on the server, and enforced for every client.

  4. 04

    Third-party integrations

    Connections to CRMs, payment and design tools, with mapping documented and failures surfaced instead of swallowed.

  5. 05

    Background jobs, retries and queues

    Slow or unreliable work runs outside the request, retries safely, and can be replayed after an outage.

  6. 06

    Documentation, error contracts and monitoring

    Every endpoint is documented with example requests and error codes, and monitoring names the failing hop instead of the whole chain.

Project types

Third-party API integration services and GraphQL API development

CRM and sales tool integrations

Two-way sync between your product and systems such as HubSpot, with clear rules for which side wins a conflict. This is where third-party API integration services save the most manual work.

Mobile and web back ends

One API serving both clients, built so a new client app does not require a new back end.

Partner and public APIs

Documented, rate-limited endpoints with keys and usage tracking for customers who integrate with you.

GraphQL layers over existing services

GraphQL API development works well when several screens need different slices of the same data and you want fewer round trips.

Webhook and event processing

Reliable intake of events from other systems, with verification, deduplication and replay.

Our process

How a api development engagement runs

  1. 01

    Understand

    We list every client and system that touches the data, and what each one needs from it. Typical time: about 1 week.

  2. 02

    Plan

    We agree the contract first: endpoints, schemas, error formats, versioning and security. Typical time: 1 week.

  3. 03

    Design

    The API specification is written and reviewed before code, so front-end teams can start against a mock. Typical time: 1 week.

  4. 04

    Build

    Endpoints, integrations and background jobs are delivered in slices, each with tests and documentation. Typical time: 3 to 10 weeks.

  5. 05

    Validate

    Contract tests, load tests on the heaviest endpoints and a security review before clients switch over. Typical time: 1 to 2 weeks.

  6. 06

    Launch & Improve

    Staged cutover, dashboards and alerts, and a plan for retiring old versions. Typical time: 1 week, then ongoing.

Technology

What we use for api development

Node.js and Python
Both have mature frameworks and libraries for integrations, so we pick whichever fits your team and workload.
REST and GraphQL
REST suits most integrations; GraphQL suits clients with varied data needs. We recommend one per use case.
PostgreSQL, MongoDB and DynamoDB
Relational storage for transactional data, and document or key-value stores where access patterns call for them.
AWS Lambda and API Gateway
Event-driven endpoints that scale with traffic and cost little when idle.
Timeline and engagement

Typical timelines and ways to work together

API timelines depend on the number of endpoints, the quality of the third-party systems involved and how much existing data has to be migrated. These are typical ranges, confirmed in your written estimate.

  • Single integration or small API

    Roughly 2 to 6 weeks

  • Full back end for a web and mobile product

    Roughly 2 to 4 months

  • Multi-system integration layer

    Scoped in phases, starting with the highest-value connection

Fixed-scope project

Well-defined builds with a clear finish line

A defined outcome, an agreed timeline and a fixed commercial envelope, with change requests handled explicitly.

  • Written scope and acceptance criteria
  • Milestone-based delivery
  • Handover package included

Dedicated team

Ongoing product work and long roadmaps

A consistent group working to your priorities, integrated with your rituals, planning and tooling.

  • Stable, named team members
  • Your backlog, your priorities
  • Monthly capacity, reviewed openly

Every project is different. Contact us with an outline of yours and we will send a project-specific estimate. Start the conversation.

Questions

API Development FAQs

What are API development services?

They cover designing, building, documenting and running the interface that lets your apps and partners read and change your data. That includes the data model, authentication, versioning, integrations and monitoring. Good API development services make every client behave consistently and make problems visible early, instead of leaving each team to work around gaps.

Should we use REST or GraphQL?

REST is simpler and fits most integrations, public APIs and mobile back ends. GraphQL helps when many screens need different slices of the same data, or when you want to reduce round trips. We often use REST for the core and add a GraphQL layer where it earns its complexity. We explain the trade-offs for your case.

Can you integrate our app with third-party systems?

Yes. We connect to CRMs, payment providers, design and scheduling tools, and other services through their APIs. Each integration gets documented field mapping, retries, and alerts when an exchange fails. We also review the third party's limits and failure behavior early, since those usually decide how the integration should be designed.

Can you improve an API we already have?

Usually, yes. We begin with a review of the current endpoints, data model and error handling, then propose the smallest sequence of changes that fixes the worst problems, such as slow queries or inconsistent errors. Existing clients keep working, because changes ship behind versions and are tested against current behavior first.

How do you keep an API secure?

Authentication and permissions are enforced on the server for every request. We validate inputs, limit request rates, store secrets outside the code and log access for audit. Before launch we run a security review against common risks such as broken access control. Dependencies are kept current through a regular patch cycle.

Do you provide API documentation?

Yes, always. Each endpoint has a description, example requests and responses, and a list of error codes. The specification is written before development so front-end teams can work against a mock. Documentation lives in your repository and is updated with every change, so it never drifts from the real behavior.

How long does API development take?

A single integration or a small API can take a few weeks. A full back end for a web and mobile product usually takes a few months. The biggest factors are the number of endpoints, the quality of any third-party systems involved and how much existing data must be migrated. We deliver in slices, each tested and documented.

Can you replace fragile integration scripts with a proper API?

Yes. We first list what each script does and who depends on it, then build a documented interface with retries, logging and alerts. The old scripts keep running until the new path is proven, and are removed afterward. The result is the same behavior with failures that are visible and recoverable.
