FAQs
Which existing APIs can you integrate with?
We have experience integrating with a range of well-known existing APIs, including Stripe, Zendesk, Kissflow, Hubspot, Xero, Zoho and Shopify.
We’ve also worked with many, many more less well-known APIs and can integrate with pretty much any API and get it to do what’s required, sometimes even beyond what the API developers intended.
Contact us to discuss which APIs you need to connect to.
What is the difference between a standard API and a custom API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a collection of processes and tools that allow two different digital systems to interact seamlessly.
A standard API is either an off-the-shelf solution, or something built by another business, offering the same data and functionality to all users and is usually available for general access by the public, partners or internal users.
Standard APIs generally don’t allow for modification to suit specific business needs, which can create issues for legacy systems or unique business requirements.
A custom API is built to meet specific business needs, and is tailored to suit specific businesses and data sources.
A custom API can also be modified in the future, as a business grows and changes over time.
Contact us to discuss whether a custom API is right for you.
What is custom API development?
Custom API development involves creating an interface to specific data sources, to allow users and other applications to interact with the data as required, tailored to the business’s specific needs.
Developing a custom API allows a business to control what data is available, how it is accessed and who can interact with the data.
Contact us to discuss the possibilities.
What does creating a custom API solution require?
At a minimum, you’ll need:
- a source of data
- a list of requests you’ll be making of that data
- a tool to connect to the data and return answers
You’ll also need to know:
- who will be accessing the API
- how the data will be used
- what you want the API to do
- what outcomes you want to achieve
- any quality and performance requirements
- what your success metrics will be

How long does it take to build a custom API solution?
The time it takes to develop a custom API or API integration depends heavily on the complexity of the data, tools and features required.
A simple API build might take 1 to 3 months, while a more complex project could take 6 months to more than a year.
Project timelines can also be greatly affected by changes to project scope, the availability of key business staff for acceptance testing and technological challenges.
Contact us to discuss your project requirements.
How much does a custom API solution cost?
The cost of a custom API build or API integration is significantly affected by the nature and complexity of the API(s) involved.
Basic APIs that only do a few tasks, and access straightforward data, might start from $10,000, while more complex APIs, that access a variety of data and offer more detailed responses and functionality can range from $50,000 to more than $250,000.
