Prepared by
For
API integration
We connect your application to CRMs, payment providers, online stores and internal systems, and plan for the day the other side fails or changes.
What’s delivered
- A written plan, agreed first. What data moves in which direction, how often, what triggers it, and how each field in one system matches a field in the other.
- The integration itself. Code that signs in to each system, stays within their usage limits and checks everything it receives, running in an account you control.
- Safe handling of notifications. Incoming notifications (webhooks) are checked, recorded and processed once, so a duplicate or late message can’t change the data twice.
- Monitoring and alerts. A log of what was sent and received, an alert when failures start piling up, and a list of anything that needs a person to look at it.
- Instructions for when things go wrong. How to change passwords and keys, re-run failed updates, and what to check when the other system is down.
What’s needed to start
- Each system’s name and plan
- Their API documentation
- Test accounts
- Access keys, shared securely
- Some example records
What affects the cost
- How many systems and connections are involved
- How good each API’s documentation and test accounts are
- How much the data needs translating between systems
- Whether data moves one way or both ways
- How many records there are, and the providers’ usage limits
- How much monitoring and checking you need
Usually included
- Connections between your application and other services’ APIs
- Receiving and processing webhooks
- Matching, converting and moving data between systems
- Monitoring, alerts and scheduled checks
Not included unless agreed
- Changes inside another company’s platform that only they can make
- Negotiating API access or pricing with providers
- Integrations that need hardware on site
Dependencies
Every integration relies on someone else’s system, including its documentation, uptime, usage limits, prices and how often it changes. We can work around those limits but can’t remove them, and we’ll tell you about any that put the project at risk.
