How do we build a custom API?
We start with the contract, not the code. Before building, we write the endpoints, request and response shapes, error formats and authentication rules, and review them with you. Once that is agreed, the work follows a predictable path:
- Design: an OpenAPI description or equivalent that your frontend and partner developers can read.
- Build: a typed backend, usually in TypeScript with Node.js or NestJS, Go or Python, on PostgreSQL.
- Test: automated tests for the main paths and the error cases.
- Document: reference docs and examples so the next developer is not guessing.
- Version: a versioning plan so you can change the API without breaking existing clients.
