API Development and Integration

APIs and integrations that connect the systems your organisation already runs, built with the security a shared endpoint needs.

Most enterprise problems that look like "we need a new system" are actually integration problems: two platforms that hold overlapping data and never agreed on which one is authoritative. Building an API is the easy part; deciding what the API actually represents, and securing it properly, is where the real work is.

We design and build APIs for new systems and integration layers connecting existing ones, whether that means a public developer-facing API or an internal service boundary nobody outside the organisation will ever see.

What We Offer

API design

RESTful and GraphQL APIs designed around the resources and operations a consumer actually needs, with versioning that lets the underlying system change without breaking every integration.

Authentication and access control

Rate limiting, scoped access tokens and audit logging appropriate to what the API exposes, from a public developer portal to an internal-only service.

Legacy system integration

Building an API layer in front of a system that was never designed to expose one, so it can participate in newer architecture without a rewrite.

Documentation and developer experience

Documentation that a third-party or internal developer can actually integrate against without a support ticket for every question.

How We Help

A recurring pattern: two systems both hold customer or transaction data, both are considered "the source of truth" by different teams, and nobody has designed which one actually owns which field. An integration project that skips that question ships a synchronisation bug instead of a solution.

We also build API layers specifically so a legacy system can be modernised incrementally, rather than needing to be replaced all at once before anything new can be built on top of it.

Our Approach

We define data ownership before writing integration code: which system is authoritative for which field, and what happens when two systems disagree.

API contracts are versioned from the first release, so a breaking change in one system does not silently break every consumer of its API.

Questions

API Development FAQs

Do you build public developer-facing APIs or only internal ones?
Both. The security, versioning and documentation requirements differ significantly between a public API third parties will integrate against and an internal service boundary, and we scope for the actual audience rather than treating every API the same way.
Can you build an API in front of a system we cannot modify?
Yes, that is a common request, particularly for legacy systems that were never designed with an API in mind. The integration layer sits in front of the existing system rather than requiring changes to it.
How do you decide which system owns which data when two platforms overlap?
By mapping the actual data flow with the teams that use each system, then defining ownership explicitly rather than assuming it. This is usually the first and most important step in any integration project, before any code is written.
What happens when we need to change the API later without breaking existing integrations?
Versioning is built in from the first release specifically so this is possible. A new version can ship alongside the old one, giving existing integrations time to migrate rather than breaking on deployment.
