API Development Services

An API is a promise to whoever calls it

Once an API ships, other code depends on it - a mobile app, a partner's system, your own frontend. That means the boring parts (consistent error responses, versioning, rate limiting, actual documentation) matter more than they do in a one-off script, because breaking changes ripple outward to everything that calls in. We build APIs with that dependency in mind from day one, not as an afterthought once something breaks.

What's included

REST or GraphQL, matched to your use case - REST for straightforward resource-based APIs, GraphQL when clients need flexible, varied data shapes from the same endpoints
Authentication - JWT tokens, API keys, or OAuth2 depending on who's calling the API and what they need access to
Rate limiting and request validation, so one misbehaving client can't take down the service for everyone else
Auto-generated or hand-written documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger) that a third-party developer can actually follow without asking you questions
Versioning strategy from the start, so future changes don't silently break existing integrations

Our process

1. Define the contract

Before writing code, we agree on endpoints, request/response shapes and error formats in a written spec - the API equivalent of a wireframe.

2. Build with tests

Core endpoints get automated tests covering both expected use and common failure cases (bad input, missing auth, rate limits).

3. Document as we go

Documentation is written alongside the code, not reconstructed from memory after the fact - which is usually why "documentation" ends up wrong or missing entirely on rushed projects.

4. Staging access for integration testing

Whoever's building the client (your team, a partner, or us on a connected project) gets a staging environment to test against before production traffic touches it.

Technology

Node.js/Express as the default, matching our core MERN stack; Python for data-heavy or ML-connected APIs. Database choice (MongoDB, PostgreSQL) depends on whether your data is naturally document-shaped or relational.

Pricing

Rs 60,000-350,000 depending on number of endpoints, authentication complexity, and whether it's a standalone API or part of a larger application build.

Frequently asked questions

REST or GraphQL - which do we need?

REST suits straightforward resource-based data; GraphQL suits clients (like a mobile app) that need flexible, varying data shapes from the same backend. We'll recommend based on your actual client needs, not a default preference.

Will other developers be able to use this without asking us questions?

That's the goal - documentation is written alongside the code and tested against someone unfamiliar with the project before we call it done.

What happens when we need to change the API later?

Versioning is built in from the start specifically so changes don't silently break whoever's already integrated - old versions can keep working while new ones roll out.

Do you handle authentication?

Yes - JWT, API keys or OAuth2 depending on who's calling the API and what access levels are needed.

Can this connect to our existing database?

Yes, if it's reasonably accessible - we review your current setup first and tell you honestly if it needs changes to support a clean API layer.

How long does it take?

Rs 60,000-350,000 range typically corresponds to 3-10 weeks depending on endpoint count and integration complexity.
