REST or GraphQL API (Application Programming Interface) endpoint set. Built from the spec out, not from the database in. The interface layer between your data and whatever clients (web, mobile, third-party, internal) will consume it.
Typically used for
- Headless backends powering a website plus mobile app plus admin tool
- Public APIs offered as part of a SaaS product
- Internal microservices powering specific workflows
- Data exposure for partners, integrations, or webhook consumers
- Replacing a CMS-coupled backend with a clean API layer
What you get
API spec (OpenAPI or GraphQL schema), implementation, authentication, rate limiting, documentation, and a test client. Deployed to your platform of choice. Source code yours.
WHY THIS PRICE
What you're actually paying for
An API is the contract between your software and everything that talks to it. The spec is what every future integration depends on. Design choices made now determine how easy or painful the next ten integrations are.
What's in the work
- API spec (OpenAPI for REST, schema for GraphQL)
- Endpoint design and resource modeling
- Authentication and authorization
- Rate limiting and abuse protection
- Implementation against your backend
- Documentation generated from the spec
- Test client and example requests
- Deployment and monitoring
The value it adds
A well-designed API is the difference between integrations taking days and integrations taking weeks. For SaaS products, the API IS the product to half your customers. For internal use, it's the layer that lets every future tool talk to your data cleanly.
