API Development and Integration
Documented, versioned APIs and the integration work that makes separate systems behave like one.
Integrations rot quietly. A field changes meaning, a partner ships a breaking change without notice, a nightly job fails and nobody notices until finance asks why the numbers do not reconcile.
We design and build APIs and integrations that are versioned, documented and monitored — so failures are visible immediately and a change on either side does not take a working system down with it.
How we approach it
Contract first. We agree the schema, error semantics and versioning policy before implementation, then generate documentation and client libraries from that contract so they cannot drift apart.
Why this matters
-
Failures surface immediately
Every integration monitored, with alerting on error rate, latency and volume anomalies.
-
Changes without breakage
Explicit versioning and deprecation windows, so consumers upgrade on their own schedule.
-
Documentation that is true
Reference generated from the contract, so it cannot drift away from behaviour.
-
Partners onboard faster
A sandbox, worked examples and clear error semantics cut integration support to near zero.
What is included
-
Contract-first design
OpenAPI or GraphQL schema agreed and reviewed before code.
-
Authentication and rate limiting
OAuth 2, API keys or mTLS with per-consumer quotas and throttling.
-
Resilient integration
Idempotency, retries with backoff, dead-letter queues and replay tooling.
-
Observability
Request tracing, error dashboards and alerting on every dependency.
How we deliver it
-
01
Discover
Workshops with the people who will use it, a map of the systems the API has to fit alongside, and written agreement on what success looks like.
-
02
Design
Architecture, data model and interface prototypes, reviewed with your team before any production code is written.
-
03
Build
Two-week increments with a demo environment you can use throughout, so the roadmap stays open to change.
-
04
Harden
Load testing, security review, accessibility audit and the operational tooling needed to go live safely.
-
05
Operate
Support, iteration and a documented handover whenever you decide to run it in-house.
What you receive
- API contract and versioning policy
- Production API with authentication and rate limiting
- Published reference documentation and sandbox
- Integration monitoring and alerting
- Client libraries or worked integration examples
