Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between REST and GraphQL?
REST uses multiple endpoints and fixed data structures, while GraphQL uses a single endpoint where clients specify exactly what data they need. REST is simpler and more established; GraphQL is more flexible and efficient for complex data requirements. We help you choose based on your specific needs.
- How long does API integration take?
Simple single-service integrations take 2-4 weeks, complex multi-service projects 6-10 weeks, and enterprise API platforms 10-16+ weeks. Timeline depends on API complexity, number of integrations, data volume, and custom requirements.
- Can you integrate with any third-party service?
We can integrate with any service that provides an API, whether RESTful, SOAP, GraphQL, or other protocols. If a service doesn’t have an API, we can explore alternative solutions like webhooks, data exports, or screen scraping (when legally permitted).
- How do you ensure API security?
We implement OAuth 2.0/JWT authentication, API key management, HTTPS encryption, rate limiting, input validation, SQL injection prevention, and regular security audits. All sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
- What happens if the third-party API changes?
We build integrations with versioning and error handling to minimize disruption. We monitor API changelogs and can provide maintenance plans to update integrations when third-party APIs change. Most established APIs give advance notice of breaking changes.
- Can you help with API documentation?
Yes! We create comprehensive API documentation using tools like Swagger/OpenAPI, Postman collections, and custom documentation sites. Documentation includes endpoint descriptions, request/response examples, authentication guides, and error handling.
- Do you provide ongoing API maintenance?
Yes, we offer maintenance plans covering monitoring, updates, bug fixes, performance optimization, security patches, and handling API version changes. Support packages range from 30-90 days initially, with extended plans available.
- What if my business needs change later?
APIs are designed to be flexible and extensible. We can add new endpoints, integrate additional services, modify data structures, or enhance functionality as your needs evolve. Well-architected APIs scale easily with your business.
