Custom API Development - Built to Connect Every System You Run
We design and build REST and GraphQL APIs, third-party integrations, and webhook-driven architectures that connect your CRM, ERP, payment gateways, and internal tools - with contract-first design, OWASP-compliant security, and documentation your team will actually use.
API Development Services We Deliver
From REST and GraphQL APIs to webhook systems, API gateways, and legacy system modernisation - we engineer every layer of your integration architecture.
Custom REST API Development
Resource-based REST APIs designed around your data model - versioned endpoints, consistent error handling, pagination, filtering, and full OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation from day one.
GraphQL API Development
Schema-first GraphQL APIs that let client apps fetch exactly the data they need in a single request - ideal for mobile apps, dashboards, and multi-source data aggregation with strong typing.
Third-Party API Integration
Connect your platform to payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, marketplaces, and SaaS tools - Stripe, Razorpay, Salesforce, SAP, Amazon, Shopify, QuickBooks - with resilient retry logic and error handling.
Webhook & Event-Driven Architecture
Real-time, event-driven systems using webhooks and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS/SNS) so your systems stay in sync the moment something changes, without constant polling.
API Gateway & Microservices Architecture
Break a monolith into independently deployable microservices behind a unified API gateway - with request routing, load balancing, service discovery, and centralised authentication.
Legacy System API Modernisation
Wrap legacy databases, on-premise ERPs, and older SOAP services with a modern REST or GraphQL API layer - so new applications can integrate without touching fragile legacy code directly.
Technology That Powers Modern APIs
Every technology choice is driven by scalability, security, and integration flexibility - from robust API frameworks to event-driven messaging and enterprise API gateways.
Engagement Models for API Development
Whether you need a dedicated integration team, a fixed-price API build, or flexible sprint-based development - we have a model that fits your budget, timeline, and growth stage.
- Ongoing integration platform development
- Growing API product with a public developer base
- Replacing or augmenting an in-house integration team
- Multi-system integration hub (CRM, ERP, payments)
Ongoing - scale up or down each quarter
- Single third-party integration (CRM, ERP, payments)
- Public API for one mobile or web client
- Legacy system API wrapper
- Webhook-based sync between two platforms
Best for projects 6–16 weeks
- API scope that evolves as you learn requirements
- Adding new integrations to an existing API
- Exploratory third-party API prototyping
- API audit, performance, or security review
Start in 1 week - no lengthy onboarding
Our API Development Process
A structured six-stage process designed to deliver an API your team and partners actually adopt - from contract-first design and integration build to security testing and post-launch monitoring.
We map every system that needs to talk to your API, the data each one needs, and the events that should trigger real-time sync - before writing a line of code. This prevents costly rework and a bloated, inconsistent endpoint list later.
We design the full API contract - endpoints, request/response schemas, authentication, and error formats - as an OpenAPI specification first, so your frontend and integration teams can start building against a stable contract while backend work is still underway.
Development begins with core resource endpoints and authentication, then expands in sprint cycles to cover integrations and edge cases. Each sprint delivers working, testable endpoints reviewed directly against the OpenAPI contract.
We build and test every required third-party connection - payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, marketplaces - using REST, webhooks, and message queues, with full retry logic, idempotency handling, and integration-specific error monitoring.
Authentication and authorisation testing, input validation and injection testing against the OWASP API Security Top 10, rate-limit verification, and load testing to confirm the API holds up under real production traffic.
Zero-downtime production deployment, published OpenAPI documentation and Postman collection, uptime and latency monitoring dashboards, and error alerting - plus a tiered SLA-backed support plan for ongoing endpoint additions.
What Our API Clients Say
Trusted by B2B SaaS platforms, eCommerce brands, and enterprise IT teams across the US, UK, and Canada.
Our internal tools were held together by manual CSV exports between our ERP and our CRM. 1Solutions built a REST API and webhook layer that syncs both systems in real time. What used to take our ops team four hours a week now happens automatically.
We needed a public API so partner agencies could pull campaign data into their own dashboards. 1Solutions delivered a fully documented GraphQL API with API key management and a developer portal - partners onboarded themselves within a day.
Integrating Stripe, our warehouse system, and three marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, eBay) into one order pipeline sounded like a nightmare. 1Solutions built the integration hub in 12 weeks with proper retry logic - it hasn't dropped an order since launch.
Why Choose Us for API Development
15+ years building REST and GraphQL APIs, third-party integrations, and event-driven architectures - with contract-first design, security-first engineering, and a track record of 50+ production integrations.
15+ Years API & Integration Expertise
We have been building REST and GraphQL APIs, integration layers, and event-driven architectures since 2010 - across SaaS, fintech, eCommerce, healthcare, and logistics.
Contract-First, Not Code-First
Every API starts as an OpenAPI specification agreed with your team before backend work begins - so frontend, mobile, and partner teams can build in parallel against a stable, documented contract.
50+ Third-Party Integrations Delivered
We have built production integrations with payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, marketplaces, and accounting tools - using REST APIs, webhooks, and message queues with proper retry and idempotency handling.
Security-First by Default
OAuth2/JWT authentication, scoped API keys, rate limiting, input validation, and OWASP API Security Top 10 compliance are built into every API we ship - not bolted on afterward.
Built to Scale
From a single-service REST API to a full microservices architecture behind an API gateway, we design for the traffic and integration count you will have in two years, not just launch day.
Documentation Your Team Will Actually Use
Every API ships with an OpenAPI spec, interactive docs, and a Postman collection - so onboarding a new developer or partner takes minutes, not a support ticket to us.
US / UK / AU Market Expertise
We serve SaaS companies, eCommerce brands, and enterprise IT teams across North America, Europe, and Australia - adapting integration architecture to regional compliance and vendor ecosystems.
Transparent Delivery, Full Ownership
Fortnightly demos, weekly sprint reports, shared task boards, and direct developer access on Slack or Teams. All source code, API contracts, and IP are 100% yours from day one - no vendor lock-in.
