REST, SOAP, JSON, XML, CSV - What are APIs and why use them?

In very simple terms, an Application Programming Interface (API) is a method for software vendors to give other parties access to their code or data in a controlled, standardised manner. It’s called an ‘interface’ because this system won’t allow those parties to make changes to the program’s code base but will act as a surface layer which permits the use of its functionality or data.

It’s not hard at all to see why software developers and vendors are huge fans of APIs if you consider their versatility, speed of working with large data sets or intelligent functionality and the level of IP control on offer. Not to mention the pool of business and technological possibilities which come with all those features – it’s clear to see that APIs are amazing and here to stay.

We have a number of years under our belt building successful and well-tested APIs for organisations to enhance existing solutions or implement within new projects.

We’ve built bespoke ticketing systems, CRMs and other web apps with built-in APIs, added new functionality to existing platforms and websites by incorporating a variety of third party APIs. We have been consulted by organisations to help them build unique API-ready programs, customise existing services or integrate services according to very specific requirements.

Our products are specially prepared in consultation with our customers. If our customer is not satisfied with the service or product, returns are provided within 5 working days.
