Hire developers to build and integrate APIs
Connect the software you already use, so data moves between systems on its own instead of sitting in silos or being copied by hand.
Hiring model that usually fits
Hourly
Integrations are often small, well-defined jobs that come up irregularly. Larger API builds for a product are better quoted as a project.
Most businesses run on several tools that do not talk to each other. An API or integration is the glue: payments into accounting, orders into shipping, leads into a CRM.
Integration work is careful work. The developer has to handle failures, retries and mismatched data, and log what happened so problems can be traced.
What it usually includes
- A documented API for your own product or data
- Integrations with payments, CRM, shipping, SMS and maps
- Webhooks so systems react as things happen
- Retries and alerts when a connection fails
- Logs showing what moved, when, and why it failed
- Authentication and rate limits
Usually built with
The stack depends on what you already run and who will maintain it. These are the ones we reach for most.
Worth deciding before you start
None of these need a final answer to get in touch. Each one you can answer saves a round of questions.
- Which systems need to talk, and in which direction
- What data moves, and how often
- What should happen when one side is down
- Who needs to be told when something fails
- Whether the other systems have documented APIs
Common questions
Can you connect a tool that has no public API?
Sometimes, through exports, webhooks or email parsing. We check what the tool allows before quoting, and say so if it cannot be done reliably.
Will we be told when an integration breaks?
Yes. Failures are logged and alerted, so a broken connection is noticed the same day rather than weeks later.
A few lines is enough to start. We reply by email, usually the same working day.
