Modern API Development

RESTful APIs following JSON:API or custom specifications
GraphQL APIs with Laravel Lighthouse for flexible queries
API versioning strategies for backwards compatibility
OpenAPI/Swagger documentation automatically generated
Rate limiting, throttling, and authentication (OAuth2, JWT)
Error handling with meaningful responses across all endpoints
We build REST APIs that follow industry-standard JSON:API specifications or custom formats designed for your requirements. Our approach emphasises clear resource naming, proper HTTP verb usage, and consistent response structures that make integration straightforward. Nearly 20 years delivering Laravel APIs since 2007 means we know how to design endpoints that developers actually enjoy working with.

Our API Development Process

From specification to deployment, we build APIs that developers love to integrate with.

API Design & Specification

We start with API design-first, creating OpenAPI specifications that define endpoints, request/response schemas, and error handling before writing code. This ensures clear contracts and prevents integration issues downstream.

Implementation & Security

Laravel API Resources for consistent JSON responses, full test coverage using Pest/PHPUnit, and automated testing of all endpoints. OAuth2/JWT authentication, rate limiting per consumer, query optimisation to avoid N+1 problems, and caching strategies for frequently-accessed data.

Documentation & Monitoring

Auto-generated interactive API documentation with Swagger/Scribe, request/response logging, and performance monitoring with alerts. Complete observability ensures your API stays reliable and performant.

Why Laravel for APIs

Laravel provides the perfect foundation for building modern, scalable APIs.

Rapid Development

Faster development
Laravel API Resources, Eloquent ORM, and built-in authentication scaffolding accelerate development without sacrificing code quality.

Developer Experience

High satisfaction
Clear, self-documenting endpoints with consistent response formats make integration straightforward for frontend and third-party developers.

Versioning Built-In

v1-v5 support
API versioning strategies that allow you to evolve your API without breaking existing integrations, critical for long-term maintenance.

Production-Ready

High availability
Built-in rate limiting, queue-based processing for heavy operations, and error handling ensures reliability at scale.
