Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between REST and GraphQL APIs?
REST APIs use predefined endpoints and return fixed data structures, making them simple and widely understood. GraphQL allows clients to request exactly the data they need in a single query, reducing over-fetching and under-fetching. We recommend REST for straightforward CRUD operations and GraphQL for complex data requirements with multiple relationships.
How long does it take to build a custom API?
A basic API typically takes 4-8 weeks from discovery to deployment. Complex enterprise APIs with multiple integrations may require 3-6 months. Timeline depends on the number of endpoints, integration complexity, security requirements, and testing scope.
Can you integrate with our existing CRM/ERP system?
Yes, we specialize in enterprise system integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Oracle, and custom systems. We handle authentication (OAuth, SAML, API keys), data mapping, error handling, and ongoing synchronization.
How do you ensure API security?
We implement multiple security layers: OAuth 2.0/JWT authentication, role-based access control, rate limiting, input validation, SQL injection prevention, encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), and regular security audits. All APIs follow OWASP security guidelines.
Do you provide API documentation?
Yes, we provide comprehensive API documentation using tools like Swagger/OpenAPI, Postman collections, or GraphQL Playground. Documentation includes endpoint descriptions, request/response examples, authentication guides, error codes, and rate limits.
What's included in ongoing API maintenance?
Our maintenance packages include security updates, performance monitoring, bug fixes, endpoint additions/modifications, version management, scaling support, and 24/7 uptime monitoring for enterprise clients. We also provide analytics and usage reports.
