APIs & Integrations

REST & GraphQL API Development

We design documented, secure APIs that make integration across your systems effortless.

We design and build professional REST and GraphQL APIs with clear documentation and strong authentication and authorisation. Security controls such as rate limiting and input validation protect your APIs from abuse. We deliver stable, versioned interfaces that let your teams and partners build on top with confidence.

What's included

  • Resource-oriented REST design covering endpoint modeling, status codes, and request/response schemas
  • Complete GraphQL schema design (types, queries, mutations, subscriptions) with N+1 resolution via batching and DataLoader
  • API versioning strategy, backward compatibility, and a graceful endpoint deprecation policy
  • Authentication and authorization with OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, JWT issuance, and fine-grained scopes
  • Interactive documentation generated from an OpenAPI 3.1 contract plus a GraphQL schema explorer
  • Input validation, pagination, filtering, and per-client rate limiting

Methodology & standards

01

Domain analysis, resource modeling, and API-contract definition before any code is written

02

Design-first: author the OpenAPI spec or GraphQL schema and review it with consuming teams to lock the contract

03

Iterative implementation backed by contract, unit, and integration tests running inside the delivery pipeline

04

Harden the security layer: authentication, authorization, input validation, rate limiting, and uniform error handling

05

Launch with monitoring and metrics, published documentation, and versioning in place

Deliverables

  • A documented, versionable OpenAPI 3.1 spec and/or GraphQL SDL schema
  • API source code including authentication, authorization, validation, and error-handling layers
  • A contract and integration test suite with a coverage report
  • An interactive documentation portal (Swagger UI or GraphQL Playground) with live examples
  • A versioning guide covering backward compatibility and endpoint deprecation
  • A load-test report with recommended rate limits per consumption tier

Regulatory controls it satisfies

OWASP API Security Top 10
Addresses the top API risks: broken object-level authorization, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and missing rate limiting
ISO/IEC 27001
Aligns the secure development lifecycle and change-management controls with ISMS requirements
Saudi PDPL
Protects personal data in transit across APIs through encryption and minimized field exposure

Typical timeline

A typical API project runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on endpoint count, domain-model complexity, and integration requirements.

Common questions

How do we choose between REST and GraphQL?

We match the approach to consumption patterns: REST suits stable resources and simple caching, while GraphQL suits clients that need flexible, composed data from multiple sources, and the two can coexist where it helps.

How do you avoid breaking existing consumers on updates?

Through explicit versioning, additive non-breaking changes, and contract tests that catch any deviation from the agreed contract before release, alongside an announced deprecation window.
