API Development
REST and GraphQL APIs that connect your systems, your apps and the third-party services you depend on.
We build APIs that other software can actually rely on: versioned, documented and resilient when a request fails. REST or GraphQL, with token auth through Sanctum or Passport, rate limiting, and webhook handling for the integrations that need it. Whether you're connecting a mobile app, a partner system or a fleet of services, this is the layer that holds it together.
What goes into a good API?
An API is the contract between your application and everything that talks to it: mobile apps, partner systems, your own frontend. A good one is predictable, properly versioned and forgiving when something on the other end misbehaves. We build APIs the way we'd want to consume them, with clear documentation and sensible error responses rather than a black box.
REST or GraphQL, chosen to fit how the API will actually be used
Token authentication with Sanctum or Passport, scoped so each client only sees what it should
Versioning from the start, so you can change the API without breaking the apps already using it
Rate limiting, request validation and consistent error responses, not just the happy path
Generated documentation with Scribe or Spotlight, kept in step with the code
How we work
Every engagement follows a structured process so nothing falls through the cracks.
Timelines stay honest, and you always know what's coming next. The same four steps on every project, so nothing gets missed.
Book a discovery callContract First
We agree the shape of the API up front, so the teams consuming it can build in parallel
Versioned
Every API is versioned from day one, so later changes never break existing clients
Documented
Documentation is generated from the code and stays accurate, rather than rotting in a wiki
Resilient
We design for the failure cases: retries, idempotency and clear errors, not just the happy path
