API Development

What APIs do we build?

REST and GraphQL APIs that let your apps, websites and internal systems share data, plus integrations with third-party services such as payment providers, maps, messaging and push notifications. We also connect older systems to modern front-ends without rewriting them.

When do you need an API?

• A mobile app and a website must show the same data
• Partners or branches need controlled access to your system
• Staff copy data between systems by hand
• An older system works but cannot talk to anything new

How do we build them?

• Design the API contract first, so front-end and back-end work can run in parallel
• Authentication and permissions on every endpoint
• Versioning, so existing apps keep working when the API changes
• Documentation another developer can use without asking us
• Logging and monitoring once it is live

REST or GraphQL?

REST is simple and supported everywhere; GraphQL suits apps that need flexible queries across related data. We choose per project. APIs usually sit behind the mobile apps and custom software we build, and run on infrastructure we can set up and manage. Tell us what needs connecting.
